If, as border Czar Tom Holman says, “Look, people need to understand, ICE officers and Border Patrol don’t need probable cause to walk up to somebody, detain them, and question them. They just need totality of the circumstances, right? They just go through the observation, get our typical facts — based on the location, the occupation, their physical appearance, their actions,” then it was never about deporting criminals. It's ethnic cleansing. And if this is the loose rationale for detaining people, none of us is safe.
