While studying the trees, we should look at the forest too. That is, this jack-booted exercise has a purpose. Only a few know exactly what the purpose it, but it seems likely to me that the Trump administration is trying hard to reproduce the 2020 riots as a justification for putting troops on the streets of cities where Trump loses big. So how should we respond?
While outrage and mourning for Renee and other ICE victims is justified, it's worthwhile to consider the strategic implications of what the administration is doing and what kind of response they want to generate. On their side, this is the wrong season for riots. It's too cold. They should have waited until Spring when the campuses might explode or in the city during a hot summer. For our part, there is no authoritative leadership to channel the outrage into a tactic that can foil what Trump is trying to do.
