It's all really happening. Pretty much every meeting with friends touches on what their recent sightings or stories of ICE terror have been. Everyone who hasn't seen it first hand has a second hand story.
Absolutely everyone I talk to is against ICE's actions and that is the thing giving me hope that it will be defeated by the citizenry.

I think asking your questions in that form is akin to "sorting prompts" that I learned about from https://mikecaulfield.substack.com/p/is-the-llm-response-wro... and I have been using successfully when when writing code (e.g. [as a Claude code slash command](https://www.joshbeckman.org/notes/936274709)).
Essentially, you're asking the LLM to do research and categorize/evaluate that research instead of just giving you an answer. The "work" of accessing, summarizing, and valuing the research yields a more accurate result.
