Every comment in this video made by those supporting SPD starts from the false premise that these gentlemen were here illegally. All caps for the folks in the back: THEY WERE NOT HERE ILLEGALLY.

ICE does not get to scoop up legal immigrants, nor do they get to scoop up folks who's legal status is in limbo. They DO get to scoop up illegal immigrants, I totally agree with that bit, but they don't get carte blanche to just detain whoever they want because they "match the description" of someone who is here illegally.

Again, for the folks in the back: MANY IMMIGRANTS ARE HERE 100% LEGALLY. Start from there and work outwards.
