As a Michigander in Grand Rapids... You're not up to date. ICE considers the beach of any international waterway (according to them, all of the Great Lakes including Lake Michigan, ACLU disagrees) a "border crossing", so the entire state is in warrantless border zone.

They've made I-213 arrests as far inland as Grand Rapids and even Mount Pleasant, which is about as far from the lakes as you can get.

Records do show that only 1.5% of cases involve people with "Light" skin tone, so if you're white you're unlikely to be affected directly by this. It's not about Canada.
