A few illegals have been shot by ICE officers in the two years since Trump was elected. For comparison, the number of Operation Wetback suspects killed either directly by Immigration officers or incidentally by the harsh circumstances of the operation is estimated in the hundreds, occurring over the course of one year (1954). During one round-up, 88 Mexicans died of heat stroke. In another incident, seven Mexicans died after jumping overboard from an overcrowded deportation ship. https://revcom.us/en/a/459/american-crime-case-78-operation-wetback-en.html Operation Wetback deported 300K-1.1 million Mexican nationals, depending on source. It was largely a success, and met with little public opposition for most of its run. There were no hysterical leftoid Whites or anti-"rightoid" anti-semites meatshielding for Mexicans in 1954. Why? What was different then? Well, no internet for one thing, to amplify an anti-racism moral panic.
