This is not what OP said, at all. OP doesn't have to explain anything, or be "successful" explaining to you what the world is watching unfold in horror.

It is factually and correctly stated that any non-white, non-100%-perfectly-English-speaking person is a suspect in ICE views, detainable with no recourse. They said it themselves, the administration said that themselves, and there's ample evidence online of them enjoying doing it.

It is why people like me, who have legal status and business to conduct in USA are not gonna risk detention and deportation while ICE/DHS is operating. I'm Italian, my name is of Spanish origin, and I lived most of my life in Brazil so my accent is Brazilian. I have zero odds of convincing and ICE agent my passport isn't fake.

So, I'm out of going to Vegas, or doing talks, or anything else I have enjoyed doing in the USA in the past.



> It is factually and correctly stated

Being factually correct isn't always winning. Envoking correct emotions often is.
