On February 12–14th, 2017, there were rumors of an ICE raid in the small East Texas city of Hometown. Reports that ICE was present circulated on social media platforms and radio stations in the area. Consequently, the Latinx community had high anxiety and fear of deportation and looked to the Spanish speaking radio DJs for information and advice. In this paper, we argue that heighten threats of deportation can accentuate divisions among the Latinx community based on fallacies regarding criminality and immigration. The authors utilized a collection of qualitative data to review the racialized framing that occurs during rumored ICE raids. A discourse of deservingness based on the notion of the “good” versus “bad” immigrant was internalized by vulnerable immigrants to alleviate stress about deportation.

2017 年 2 月 12 日至 14 日，有传言称 ICE 突袭了德克萨斯州东部的小镇家乡。有关 ICE 存在的报道在该地区的社交媒体平台和广播电台上流传。因此，拉丁裔社区非常担心被驱逐出境，并向讲西班牙语的电台 DJ 寻求信息和建议。在本文中，我们认为，驱逐出境威胁的加剧会加剧拉丁裔社区之间基于犯罪和移民谬误的分歧。作者利用一组定性数据来审查传闻中的 ICE 突袭期间发生的种族化框架。基于“好”与“坏”移民概念的应得性话语被弱势移民内化，以减轻驱逐出境的压力。
