    No, you’re right, plenty were mad before too. There seems to be a new push lately on trying to make this a race issue to divide the left. I’ve seen a major uptick in this framing lately.

      If someone favors ICE because it’s a “race issue” they were never on our side to begin with.

        You’re right about that! But that’s not what I meant.

        What I mean is there’s a seemingly organized effort to create infighting between those against ICE by attempting to create issues and sow discord. It distracts from the real conversation at hand. It’s a common technique to fracture unity on an issue.
