They believe that ICE is just coming for, they're racially profiling people and just pulling them off the street.

So you'll read this article of American citizen gets his window smashed in, the one we were just talking about.

uh some of them are wanted for murder and child sex crimes it's nowhere in the article anywhere so if you were just to read the article on its face and look at the i mean tens of thousands of shares of these things amongst social media you would think ice is just randomly rounding up american citizens and for no benefit right there's no benefit there's no positive outcome
And if that's what you read and that's what you believe and that's what your algorithm shows you, then, yeah, you're going to get out there and protest.

And so you kind of just like, yeah, whatever.
