The key point is at the end of the article: that this bogey man is an indication other fear mongering tactics are not working. Doesn't mean it may not lead to more harm.

Remember 11 years ago, when the right pushed a paranoid threat about the imposition of Islamic law on Americans? Evidently, the absurd fear is back.

Trump abused his routine powers & got blocked 200+ times by the courts
So in desperation he's pivoting to his extraordinary powers: criminal investigations & military deployment
It’s a dangerous pivot—but we & the coalition are fighting back in court

Because of the bufoonery of white supremacist ICE, South Korea is halting 22 investment projects in the U.S.
In Coastal Georgia, this project was a $4.3 billion dollar investment from Korean conglomerates set to create 8,500 jobs.

Step 1: extortion demand for foreign direct investment.
Step 2: arrest workers from that country.
