Stories, plural?
I believe you have only shown one person being removed who is not a bad dude - the woman removed for felony fraudulent ID to get a job. I said I thought that was bad, though, let's be clear, it still fits the felony requirement. I have not seen evidence of anyone being deported that was not a convicted felon, in all the articles you cited on immigration.
You showed that fear of being removed is likely causing people to not enroll in DACA or use other public services. I agree this is a problem, but that is not the same as removing non-bad-dudes. As I said, just because there are chilling effects, does not mean we should stop
deportation of illegal immigrant felons - which I understand is still the policy.
I think the Trump Admin has handled this poorly, more in terms of messaging than anything else. Spicer saying anyone here illegally is subject to removal is terrible. The DHS should be more clear.
