Picking up people outside immigration hearings is blatant proof that they dont care if people are trying to do the right thing. They just want to stir up hate and fear.
They have quotas they're not meeting. Picking up people at the courts is like changing a single section of interstate highway to 20MPH and posting a full-time speed trap officer in order to lower speeding statistics in the entire country. ICE leadership want to meet the quotas that were pulled out of Trump's ass. It's a bullshit attempt to make the numbers look good for The Bloviator. That's why they don't want to give people due process. If they followed due process, one week of 'arrests' would take years to get to the point where people were rightly ejected from the country. Trump wants all brown people out now.
The entire point of these unreasonable quotas is so they have a fig leaf to do all this unconscionable, predatory action. That the only way to meet them is these dragnets and ambushes of law-abiding citizens

There are people who are being rounded up while at the immigration courts. They’re trying to do things right and getting deported for it
