      Some of the things they have claimed:

      • The death's in Minnesota were because they provoked the ICE agents
      • They are only deporting immigrants that are criminals or that didn't immigrate legally.
      • There are biker gangs that take over streets that need to be stopped.
      • Crime is down so it is a good thing.
      • There are fewer drugs flowing into the country.
      • ICE always deported criminals, but the left is focusing on it now to be anti-trump.
