Those downstream effects are the purpose of our immigration policy. The goal isn't to stop illegal immigration, or we would punish businesses that hire undocumented immigrants. The goal is to deny immigrants legal recourse so they can be exploited more easily. This has been the primary function of our immigration system for decades; Trump is just pushing it further.

I will be honest: we are not talking nearly enough about the downstream effects of these ICE and CBP deployments. -

You can get information on things like population density and average family size from census.gov; it's out there for the taking by anyone who wants to know. Similarly, you can find out about local and regional events by looking at public advertisements. I'm not saying the breach isn't catastrophic, but a lot of the information you're talking about is already public knowledge.
