Victims, even undocumented, would get assistance.
I wonder how this would be handled now.
I live in a really big agricultural area, with fields 150 yards away. I fear shock troops on my street own street. Never in my life did I see myself being this terrified, and it is even worse for the laborers

"During World War II, when Japanese Americans were forced into internment camps, their property was often sold off hastily and at significantly reduced prices due to the short time frame they had to leave, leading to substantial losses of homes, businesses, and personal belongings."

And it was inspired not just by racism but also by Japan military's attack on US naval base in Pearl Harbor
1. Anyone in Jail not a citizen will go first!
2. Those with outstanding warrants go next.
That will take time.
3. Over stayed visas can lay low just don’t get arrested
4. Those that missed their amnesty court date better not get arrested.
5. If you gave an amnesty court date don’t miss it.
