When you watch sites like iceout.org often like I do. You notice that there has been a sharp uptick in the number abductions. Recently, these abductions are quick and they normally only target small groups as opposed to the larger scale raids at places of employment, or the invasion of cities that happened earlier.
It shows a national trend in which tactics have changed. They are trying to reduce optics and media attention/intrest by keeping actions small and distributed.
And the media is happy to ignore this if it can.
I read the news every day. ICE is definitely in the media every day.
To an extent. But part of it is just psychology. If it's on camera it's a lot more emotionally salient. If they can avoid cameras it makes it harder. The resistance will also have to change tactics but I'm not sure how...
