Oh, of course. That’s a given. But the original comment implied that the feds are only fucking with blue states and immigrants are fine in places like Georgia.

The idea is to target blue areas so they can put on a show of "doing something" about immigration while their base continues to see around the same number of brown people who don't speak English very well and so continues to believe that the "invasion" is ongoing and stronger action needs to be taken.

I'll say this though - since Trump started doing heavy ICE enforcement I've noticed a lot fewer truck drivers who need a translation app to handle basic English. Makes me wonder if ICE has got them afraid of having to deal with DOT.
