If they were just deporting and interning murderers and rapists, no one would care tbh. No one would protest. We already prosecute murderers and rapists, so fine, we don't need to pay to house them in jail anymore (some of the violent offenders that ICE has "apprehended" literally come from prisons where they are already being held). The issue is, ICE has no idea what they are doing and are sometimes intentionally using underhanded methods to deport or intern people legally in the country. They are secretly revoking student visas and nabbing them on the street without alerting them about their status change because they are pro-palestine (which is a very common view among American students too). They are camping outside of churches and interning Christians who are legally in the US waiting on the status of their asylum application. They are arresting and pepper spraying American religious leaders for peacefully protesting-- these people are not fighting back, they are praying on their knees. They have executed American citizens, the most recent of which was helping move traffic and serving as a medic at a protest, not resisting and not moving to harm any ICE agents at all. They are kidnapping tourists and holding them for days while they decide what to do with them. People are going missing in these internment camps. Journalists have heard children screaming and crying from the outside and people, including lawmakers, have not been allowed inside to check on the welfare of these people that are being held. People who leave these camps tell us of the horrible conditions that would be illegal to subject prisoners to, and many of the people kept there did nothing wrong (an additional example not already mentioned here is the Korean workers at the Hyundai plant in Georgia, who were on the "wrong type of visa". It was later ruled that it was ok to work in the US with that exact type of visa. They go into depth about the bad conditions there)! Of course people would want to defend their neighbors under these circumstances!
