Of course.
None of this is or ever has been about crime, or even really about immigrants, undocumented or otherwise.
It is and always has been about establishing precedents by which to expand governmental authority.
What they're building is a system in which anonymous federal agents will be seen to have the right to black-bag anyone, regardless of whether they can be charged with a crime or not, and disappear them.
They started with undocumented immigrants justifiably accused of other crimes because that was the easiest case to be made both legally and popularly, but they never had any intention of stopping there. They're going to keep expanding until they reach the point that they can do it to anyone, any time, for any reason.

Anyone that doesn't fall in line will be 86'ed

it's exactly how the original nazis persecuted the holocaust's victims. They started small and built upon it. They didn't wake up one day and start gassing jews. They did it by taking one right away at a time.

Not surprising. If you arrest people solely based on skin color and prejudices instead of criminal records...

Another 30% have a "pending criminal charge" which can be anything from a moving violation to vagrancy.
Cops are so fucking good at finding an excuse to press charges. That they aren't bothering anymore illustrates how perfunctory these arrests have become.

But now they have an arrest record, which makes them easier to harass even if let out.
