> However, enforcement of immigration laws has been one of the biggest parts of his election platform, if not the central part(build the wall, etc).

If you pay attention, you will notice that immigration policies have nothing to do with what's happening in the US, and at most they are a pretext.

The Trump administration is rounding up and transfering people, including US citizens, to prisons in third world countries they have no connection with. They are doing this without due process or legal basis. They have attacked and threatened judges who can and did opposed these actions. Lately the Trump administration is even threatening elected officials, including governors, with imprisonment.

Now you are witnessing the Trump administration illegally mobilizing both a state's national guard and the armed forces against its own citizens.

At one point anyone has to ask themselves if this is really about immigration at all.
