Texas is undergoing plenty of anti-immigration enforcement, especially in border towns. But because there’s no elected opposition and the media landscape in the state is fully captured by corporate interests, ICE gets to operate fully uninhibited and unreported on.
35 dead bodies showed up in the Houston Bayou in 2025, the bulk of them homeless, during a state sponsored purge of homeless encampments across the city. No suspects have been identified. All these cases go cold practically as soon as they’re opened. The only thing the Houston DA’s office seems able to say definitively is “it’s not a serial killer, stop talking about it”.
It’s not just a Blue States problem. What Blue States appear to have are large activist communities congealing in self-defense. Red state communities continue to be fractured and alienated, unable to resist the iron grip of a fascist police force.
They are using fear to project power, so you are almost right. They are spread too far and wide to actually project power. They can’t be everywhere but they are certainly trying.
This is what they want right? Texas has more immigration, but they want to spread fear and cause chaos on blue states.

This is all true, but this is a demonstration of power, not fear.
