Why push back on this? Because Democrats paid a very heavy political price in the last election cycle because they were perceived as indifferent to the problems caused by declining to enforce immigration laws. There is a lot to object to about how immigration laws are being enforced by the current Administration. But it's important to object to the specific horrible things, and not let those objections slide into objecting simply to the fact that immigration laws are being enforced.

Let me just remind you that early in 2024 a bipartisan immigration bill was about to be approved by congress, and candidate Trump vetoed it because he wanted to run on his immigration lies. There's not much Democrats can do to negate the perceptions, just as they couldn't successfully negate the lies about Hillary's emails or the "stolen" 2020 election.

As I noted, ICE is not primarily enforcing immigration laws. They are violating far more laws than they are enforcing. Their primary purpose it to ethnically cleanse the country.
