Honestly though, isn't "creating fear and submission" required to enforce laws, because it's impossible to get sufficient compliance without those things? They'll never be enough ICE agents to deport all illegal immigrants, so probably the only way to make a serious dent in the numbers is create enough "fear and submission" that illegal immigrants "self-deport" on their own.

Not checking immigration status saves a lot of time. The idea is not to make only illegal immigrants fear the ICE, but anyone who might look like one.
