ABC News followed federal immigration agents in a Denver door-to-door raid of suspected undocumented immigrants.

Summary

Since Donald Trump’s return to office, ICE and DEA agents have intensified immigration enforcement, conducting door-to-door sweeps in Colorado.

Initially targeting suspected criminals, recent operations now question all residents, regardless of warrants. A Denver apartment complex saw widespread searches, sparking protests and fear among undocumented families.

Activists and attorneys are mobilizing to inform residents of their rights. Schools report growing student anxiety.

Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, confirmed a broad crackdown, declaring, “If you’re in the country illegally, you’re on the table.”

    It’s not if they can be appeased or not, it’s that half the country wants them in power. You are talking about a civil war.

      It’s not half that want them, it’s like 20%. 80% are allowing them to do these things.

      Sure, civil war, civil disobedience, call it whatever you want. They’re putting children in camps, at what point do ‘you’ (the people of the US) stand up to it? Do they need to create death camps with ovens before you all react, or are you going to ‘aww geez’ at not wanting to stand up to them? The nazi’s made it illegal to save children from being tortured to death, at what point do you say ‘law’ be damned, I won’t watch this happen?

        I don’t know. They already (famously) put children in cages last time around, AND-PEOPLE-STILL-VOTED-FOR-HIM.

        About percentages, 77M+ people voted R, and IIRC there were 160M registered voters, so close to half of voters voted for him, much more than 20%.
