Fact check: As a half white half Hispanic woman am I safe in America right now from the ice raids?

1. Summary of the results

The analyses provided suggest that as a half-white, half-Hispanic woman, you may not be entirely safe from ICE raids, especially if you are in an area with a high concentration of immigrant communities ^[1]. ICE raids have been reported to target areas with high immigrant populations, such as the Chicago area, where two apparent US citizens were swept up in an Elgin ICE raid ^[1]. Additionally, ICE agents have been targeting areas where migrant workers gather, such as Home Depot stores ^[2]. The Trump administration's immigration crackdowns have also led to a heightened sense of fear and uncertainty among immigrant communities, which could indirectly affect your sense of safety as a half-Hispanic woman ^[3]. Furthermore, the Supreme Court's latest decision may allow for racial profiling during immigration raids, which could put half-white, half-Hispanic women at risk of being targeted by ICE ^[4]. Racial profiling by ICE has been reported, with data showing that 90% of arrests made by ICE between January 20 and July 28, 2025, were of Latinos ^[5]. However, the Department of Homeland Security denies allegations of racial profiling by ICE ^[6].

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

Some analyses do not directly address the safety of a half-white, half-Hispanic woman in America regarding ICE raids, such as the discussion of the Black Lives Matter movement and the experiences of biracial black women ^[7]. Other analyses focus on the mental health of multiracial individuals ^[8] or the increase in multiracial families in the United States ^[9], but do not provide information relevant to the specific concern about ICE raids. Alternative viewpoints suggest that the issue of ICE raids and racial profiling is complex and multifaceted, and that different communities may be affected in different ways. For example, the experience of a half-white, half-Hispanic woman may be different from that of a biracial black woman or a multiracial individual. Key omitted facts include the specific policies and procedures of ICE, as well as the impact of immigration crackdowns on different communities. Some sources also highlight the importance of considering the intersectionality of identities, such as race, ethnicity, and citizenship status, when assessing the risk of ICE raids ^[5].

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The original statement assumes that the risk of ICE raids is solely based on ethnicity and citizenship status, but other factors may also play a role, such as location, occupation, and language ^[2]. Some sources suggest that ICE raids may be motivated by racial profiling, which could put half-white, half-Hispanic women at risk of being targeted ^[4]. However, the Department of Homeland Security denies allegations of racial profiling by ICE ^[6], which may reflect a bias or misinformation. Who benefits from this framing is unclear, but it may be used to justify or criticize immigration policies. The media and government agencies may have a role in shaping the narrative around ICE raids and racial profiling, and different sources may have different agendas or biases ^{[1] [6]}. Ultimately, a nuanced and multifaceted understanding of the issue is necessary to accurately assess the risk of ICE raids and the impact of immigration crackdowns on different communities ^[5].
