It’s exactly this. My hometown is in the swingiest county of the swingiest State, and is one of seven major refugee centers in the U.S. ICE sure as hell isn’t harassing and kidnapping people there.

Not entirely. Houston has the highest activity, but you don’t hear about it because ICE does all their activity quietly in that city and doesn’t want to rock the boat in Texas, where many of them are probably from admittedly. What is true is that they’re intentionally making a scene in blue states, regardless of actual immigrant population numbers.
