They could quite literally trawl through entire sectors of the economy with nets to catch 10s of millions of illegals. Even morons know that almost all of construction, meat packing, lawn services, cleaning services, and industrial agriculture are populated almost entirely off of cheap foreign labor (i.e. illegals), and have been for decades. Why is ICE not going after those sectors?
Because if you make a visible symbol and actually show a business owner perp walking for this, it'll change the climate around employing illegals for everyone.
It's actually hard to deport 10's of millions of people. But if 10's of millions of people are fired overnight, that's a lot easier.
I'm glad this is happening, but a bakery? Really?

Also most Americans will say "hey I could work in a bakery, they're taking my job! good riddance".
But meat packing? I think a lot of people don't want to be chopping up carcasses all day so it's harder to get worked up about who's doing it.
