The vast majority of the people being swept up are not criminals. ICE has been extremely violent, including at least two dead American citizens. It has had an enormous terrorizing effect on all Latinos, including citizens.
Latino voters swung Republican in 2024, but belatedly seem to have figured out that he actually meant what he said. Polling shows that opposing ICE is popular among Latinos, and is likely to boost Democratic chances this fall.
There are also plenty of things working against them, including gerrymandering which is apparently illegal only in blue states. So it's difficult to predict at the moment.
