If you watch the coverage from around the nation there are not a lot of people in the streets. A few of the usual hot spots got rowdy, but even there the crowds were not large.
In AZ, for instance, there were 3,000 in Tucson, a very Liberal city. There were less than that in Phoenix, more than 3 times the size of Tucson.

"An estimated 3,000 people protested in Tucson against the Trump administration's immigration policies."
"The size of the protest — significantly larger than the protest at the state Capitol in Phoenix..."
3k turnout in either Tucson or Phoenix is pathetic.
Americans want mass deportation.
Was driving through downtown Reno yesterday afternoon and came upon these idiots. Was past them before I thought of rolling down the window and yelling “I LOVE ICE!”.
“Possible snow in Atlanta today. Yesterday, two Costcos I was at were madhouses based on the parking lots”
ya just gotta love the southeast! ... predictions of a couple of snow flakes send the population into a panicked frenzy, attempting to buy a year’s supply of water, bread, eggs and toilet paper prior to said snow flakes, you know, just in case ... plus, for some unknown reason, there are always “shortages” right before the big event! ...
[i know, because i was born and raised in the region. i now live in colorado where the stock is a bit hardier when it comes to snow, though too many folks here STILL seems to forget how to drive in the first snow of the year. Either that or it’s all of those new california locusts fleeing the messes they made in their home state.]
85% of Americans support deportations. The HS student walkouts are especially ridiculous. Students will ditch class for any excuse. They dont even know that they are supporting human trafficking and sex slavery.
In the 70’s there were occasional bomb threats at college. It was always during finals. Everybody laughed, “extra day to study!” No bombs ever went off.
Anti-ICE protest in Madison draws hundreds to State Capitol

LA Times:
"outside the Metropolitan Detention Center with law enforcement pushing into a crowd of about 200 people and spraying a chemical agent on demonstrators."
No, they don't even know the policies. Almost all of this is based in, "Let's hate Trump" driven by years and years of media hate (See Tagline).
If you asked these people if they support illegal immigrant murderers, rapists, and child molesters, they'd say no, so their "protest" is just "Let's hate Trump", as instructed by the media.
I would like for some reporter to ask them if they know what ICE stands for.
Well, for one thing, the hand held dildo who came up with the idea of a National FIF (**** ICE FIESTA and Somali Limbo Fest) screwed the pooch. YESTERDAY WAS PAYDAY FOR MOST! Killeen was jumpin’, all the stores were packed, I bought a new pair of boots, the restaurants were full all day until after work when you only went to one of them to stand in a long line until the illegal aliens finished their free taxpayer meals and got out. Cedar Park WAS A SELL OUT so ICE lovers could watch the TEXAS Stars lay one on the Henderson Silver Thugs. What a game. It was worth the money last night. The Thugs couldn’t keep the Stars down. 6-5 in OT. Sold out and nobody left until the game ended.
It’s kinda hard to tell at ground level, but that looks more like dozens than hundreds ...
It wasn’t many, that’s for sure!
In Madison, you need to throw an actual fire-bombing riot to get anyone to come.
I remember watching in horror in August of 2020 when all h#ll broke loose down there.
