ICE Raids Surge and Gen Z Shuns Work: Is America Ready for Trump’s 3,000 Daily Arrests?

ICE raids inten­si­fy, tar­get­ing car­tels and gang mem­bers with Trump’s goal of 3,000 dai­ly arrests, pres­sur­ing sanc­tu­ary cities. As indus­tries like con­struc­tion rely on migrant labor due to Gen Z’s disinterest—evidenced by their absence on job sites and ris­ing anx­i­ety (2013–2023 Youth Risk Behav­ior Survey)—America faces a labor cri­sis. Can trade schools and man­u­fac­tur­ing revival fill the gap? Explore the chal­lenges of immi­gra­tion enforce­ment, youth work eth­ic, and polit­i­cal dynam­ics.

• Yes­ter­day Colton Moore did not announce that he was run­ning for Georgia’s US Sen­ate. But don’t for­get the AG com­mis­sion­er of GA Tyler Harp­er for the Sen­ate seat. 
• If some­one in your state has a 60+ approval rat­ing, The claim in GA is that Bri­an Kemp has a 60+ approval rat­ing, and if Josh McK­oon is approved from the pres­i­dent down why hasn’t Kemp endorsed McK­oon? 
• Bernie Kerik has died at 69. A great Amer­i­can. 
• We have to remove the car­tels. Amer­i­ca has to take a real­i­ty check. In 1985, BKP couldn’t get the peo­ple to come to work and hang dry­wall. And just like that the indus­try changed to Mex­i­cans. Many indus­tries changed. Are we going to bring man­u­fac­tur­ing back, are we going to invest in trade schools and invest in what we need in this coun­ty and will we have the labor to fill all these jobs. ICE is going into con­struc­tion sites all across the coun­try. Dri­ve through these con­struc­tion projects and take notice who is work­ing. You will not see Gen Z on the job site. 
• Gen Z are more anx­ious than any oth­er gen­er­a­tion. Between 2013 and 2023 the per­cent­age of stu­dents who felt per­sis­tent­ly sad or hope­less increased, con­tin­u­ing an increas­ing trend we have seen in pre­vi­ous years. 
• As you are look­ing at the raids, which we have to do, we have to get the gang mem­bers out of here and the sex traf­fick­ers out, you have to notice that the youth are more inter­est­ed in their phones than work­ing. We have to have a real­i­ty check in Amer­i­ca. 
• ICE gets a stag­ger­ing new mis­sion that will leave ille­gal migrants and gang mem­bers ter­ri­fied. Trump wants 3000 a day arrest­ed. The Trump admin­is­tra­tion increas­es pres­sure on sanc­tu­ary juris­dic­tions with pub­lic list­ing. The cities are ner­vous. There will be raids by ICE in these sanc­tu­ary cities.
