Minnesota State Sen. Zaynab Mohamed (DFL-Minneapolis) tells WCPT 820's Patti Vasquez she believes the goal of the Trump administration's aggressive ICE raids are to make "every and any person who looks like an immigrant to feel like that they are deportable."
"Any and everywhere where immigrants live, there are ICE agents. And usually, they'll come in super early in the morning before people wake up in three or four cars, often even five or seven. You know, they're wearing fake ski masks. They're not identifying themselves, and they'll go up to anybody who looks like an immigrant and say, 'Show me ID. Show me a passport' .... They're not coming here with judicial warrants. They're just here to bully people, to antagonize them and to create a level of fear. And, you know, when I really think about what exactly it's creating, what the goal of it here is, I think what I've realized is they want every and any person who looks like an immigrant to feel like that they are deportable. They want to instill that kind of fear in people."
