I still don’t understand why ice is only after the Mexican immigrants

When LA has many other immigrants too like there’s a big Asian community there’s a big African community and ice isn’t going after them?

The raids and arrests are performative, playing to Trump's fascist base. They only care about "Mexicans" — i.e., anyone from Latin America. And ICE-is doesn't care about issues like legality or any of that. The goal is to make uninformed Americans believe that a) there is a crisis — nay, an invasion! — coming from the south and b) the Trump regime is doing something about it.

The MAGAts don't care about the law. They don't care about democracy. They don't care about decency. They don't care about due process. They don't care about justice. They only care about lashing out at a target they've been told to hate, and Trump only cares about how much money he can grift and just outright steal from the American taxpayer.

No principles, no values, no critical thinking skills, ... they just don't care as long as their collective hatred for scapegoats gets confirmation through sadistic punishments. But that's exactly what Trump says about his base too:

These people, my people, they are so smart. And you know what else they say about my people, the polls! They say I have the most loyal people. Did you ever see that? Where I could stand in the middle of 5th avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't loose any voters. Okay! It's like incredible!

That's how smart these people are.
