How do we know ICE abductions are racist? Employers are never arrested [View all]

Demographics of abductees aside (they are important), when ICE/FBI or undercover militia raid a place like a bar on Broadway or any place of employment, they never arrest the employer or managers. There is no followup to find and arrest employers or company owners.

Employing people without proper documentation breaks the law.

Employing people without asking for proper documentation breaks the law.

Employers tend to fit the demographic that the racist, wealth-worshipping tRump regime feels most comfortable with: rich white males. If they are rich, they also tend to be given a pass. Tends two out of three, but "white" tends to trump all other considerations.
