Are the ICE detainees and deported due to racial targeting?

 Are the ICE detainees and those deported due to racial targeting? An obvious answer: yes? All we hear about are asians and those from south of the border, yet the number of migrants without documents from Europe is also estimated to be 500,000 in the US, and blond, blue-eyed,  rarely turn up in news reports or at all. A Facebook friend raised this issue, and I fact-checked it. It is true per a credible source..  Here is the breakdown by country of origin of the undocumented migrants.

4th Amendment applies to the right of the people...against warrantless search and seizures and pertains the reference to probable cause..Fourth Amendment | U.S. Constitution | US Law | LII / Legal Information Institute

From Google AI with references to source: 

  • "The people" is not limited to citizens:
    While the Fourth Amendment uses the phrase "the people," it has been interpreted to include anyone within the United States' physical borders, not just citizens. 
  • Supreme Court precedent:
    The Supreme Court has addressed this issue in the case United States v. Verdugo-Urquidez, ruling that the Fourth Amendment does apply to non-citizens within the U.S. 
  • Due process and equal protection:
    The Fourteenth Amendment also guarantees due process and equal protection under the law to all individuals, including non-citizens, which further reinforces the idea that the Fourth Amendment's protections are not limited to citizens.
