I don't know if you saw Stephen Miller's takedown of CNN host Boris Sanchez after he asked Miller if ICE was targeting people racially. Miller's response was accurate but fiery, calling Sanchez's question "dumb," and for good reason.
The question was obviously a piece of the leftist narrative that CNN naturally carries, and it was attempting to paint ICE, Donald Trump, and the Republican Party as racists, which is so tired at this point it falls asleep sitting up.
I suggest you check out Miller's takedown before continuing on, and my colleague Katie Jerkovich wrote an excellent report on it.

The lie that somehow, Trump's DHS and ICE are just rounding up brown and black people in the street is also one that's easily disproven. It's just easy to create the narrative for the left because when the cameras are rolling, it's predominantly brown people who are being arrested.
But this is not a matter of bigotry. It's more a matter of geography.
If you go to the ICE.gov website, you can see their statistics in terms of arrests, including where the most arrests are happening, down to the city, and how many arrests there have been. You can also see whether those arrested have criminal convictions, pending criminal charges, or other immigration violations.
But what you can also see is where the person being arrested is a citizen, and it's here that things start to fall apart for the left in terms of their "racism narrative."
Hovering over the "Arrests by Country of Citizenship" map, you can see how many people have been arrested from specific countries. You'll notice the bulk of them come from places like Mexico and other Central American countries, as well as northern countries in South America like Venezuela and Colombia. Mexico obviously has the highest rate, with over 55,000 arrests in the 2024 and 2025 period.
This shouldn't surprise anyone. These countries are our neighbors, making it easy to migrate northward without having to worry about land or long-distance sea travel. Cuban and Dominican Republic illegals do cross the sea, but that's a much shorter trip than the Pacific or Atlantic.
However, if you do go across the ocean, you'll start to see countries that don't have a Hispanic population. The following arrests were documented as being made in 2024 and 2025, and are confirmed citizens of these countries:
Russia: 379
China: 548
Poland: 52
Ukraine: 45
Romania: 607 <---Didn't see that one coming
United Kingdom: 126
Germany: 31
Canada: 136
Italy: 68
Now, this does not mean that every person arrested here was some other color than the brown skin tone you'd see south of our border; however, it's hard for me to believe that Russia, China, Ukraine, and Canada are all places where "brown" people, as defined by the left, would hail from.
The thing to keep in mind is that the information is right there. They don't have to go far to see it for themselves if they truly want to. If they want, they can even go so far as to look through the Biden era to see the case built against them.
But as per the usual, the point of the legacy media isn't to give you the facts, it's to deliver a narrative, and that narrative will always be that the Republicans are evil, racist, bigots who want nothing more than to create a hegemonic white nation that looks somewhere between Nazi Germany and a scene from The Handmaid's Tale.
The bottom line is that ICE is a law enforcement agency specializing in the removal of illegal aliens. Its only concern is to capture and deport non-citizens who are here without permission. That's it. It's been doing the same job it's always been, whether it was under Biden, Trump, or Obama.
Funny how ICE only seems to be "racist" under one of those men.
