these raids are for targeted people, known criminals with violent and sex crimes. the numbers are lower because there's less of them and they are more tactical. i suspect this serves a few purposes: > easier sell to the american people > get your ice agents trained in raiding > temperature check for the american people sentiment > starts scaring the other illegals to go home proactively > scares would-be fence jumpers to not bother in the first place make no mistake, they will see that the american people are loving it and move into the next phase of more "bulk" arrests and busts on the non-violent illegals. they will get lots of tips from people via the snitch program, especially if that $750 reward is still there. these numbers will ramp in time.
