Them: If you are detained by ICE even if you do have __legal status__

You: doesn’t that just prove my point that if you are here __illegally__

They're talking about the now well-established fact that ICE is pursuing people who have legal status in this country and using all sorts of tricks (both legal and illegal) to prevent them from exercising their rights.

Here's one example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detention_of_R%C3%BCmeysa_%C3%...

I’m sure there is a better example that makes the point you are going for.

Without muddying, the discussion is if you are here illegally, it seems better to self-deport and control your own destiny than to risk ICE for the next 3-11+ years.
