> On the second, we deported plenty of people in previous administrations without the racial profiling that lead to several of these Americans being detained.

This is false, which should be expected, since not detaining an American would necessarily mean freeing all who couldn't be immediately identified.

Here's a realistic scenario that I would like your answer for:

A car is pulled over for having plates that belong to someone with an expired visa, with a deportation judgement. The car contains 5 people, none have valid forms of id. In your opinion, what's the next step? Do you temporarily detain them to figure out who is who, possibly detaining a citizen? What is the correct next action to make sure less than 1 in 10000 citizens are temporarily detained?

I look forward to your answer.
