One news source http://www.newser.com/story/238213/major-raids-across-us-have-immigrants-panicking.html  described the raids on immigrants going on now this way:  "People are panicking."

I'm continually amazed by the American voter's seemingly lack of concern about truth and honesty. Their willingness to ignore facts in order to maintain existing beliefs or support of political leaders has been demonstrated repeatedly during the presidential campaign and up to the present time. Even when the evidence is clear that they have been lied to they nevertheless too often brush it off as unimportant. One clear example is the Trump accusation about wire tapping during the campaign.
