Are we sure it's opposition to enforcement of existing basic immigration rules? What I've seen has been more opposition to unjustifiable detainment, oppression, and killings of American citizens (i.e. murder). The same militarization of immigration policy that has plagued American police in recent decades.

I do think there's a conversation to be had in an effort to bifurcate rote racism from immigration policy, but I don' think we're quite there yet.

Not to mention the normalization of masked, non-identifying agents invading homes without warrants and disappearing people into unmarked vans.

If these were legitimate, above-the-board policing operations, they'd be carried out by visibly identifying officers in uniforms and vehicles marked as government vehicles.
