Rogan added: "We were told there would be no — well, there are two things that are insane," he said. "One is the targeting of migrant workers. Not cartel members, not gang members, not drug dealers. Just construction workers. Showing up in construction sites, raiding them. Gardeners. Like, really?"

Masad added that the issue extends beyond just laborers, mentioning the treatment of Palestinian students on college campuses. He pointed to a specific incident involving a Turkish student at Tufts University who faced scrutiny after writing an essay criticizing Israel. "Did you see this video of this Turkish student at Tufts University that wrote an essay and then there's video of like, ICE agents, like..."

The current Trump administration prioritizes strict immigration control. Policies include expanding border wall construction and increasing deportations.

The administration also restricts entry for foreign nationals from specific countries, citing national security and public safety concerns.

There are ongoing efforts to change visa rules for international students, potentially limiting their stay. Furthermore, the administration aims to end "catch and release" practices and has suspended refugee resettlement.

Protests against Donald Trump’s ICE policies have intensified across U.S. cities.

They voiced opposition to aggressive raids, family separations and increased deportations. These "anti-ICE" protests, sometimes escalating into clashes with law enforcement, aim to draw public attention and pressure for policy changes.

While some support the enforcement actions, public opinion polls show a significant portion of Americans disapprove of ICE's perceived overreach and support pathways to legal status for undocumented immigrants.
