If you watch 80s-90s police procedurals you can spot when someone's on the show's staff had their gardeners/housekeepers busted in an immigration raid and there is an episode, where the characters need help from illegals, who are first afraid of them being "La Migra" but after reassuring that they are dealing with the "real" police who does not care about immigration at all, open up and help to fight crime with their insightful observations.
