Was it just a coincidence that the raid in MS food plant was at same time as Trump visit to El Paso? [View all]

From reports, it was planned months ago. But they decided to do it today?

They arrested over 600 people, and family members were separated.

If this was not a coincidence, what was the message Trump was trying to send?

And who was he trying to send it to?

If it was not a coincidence, it sounds so inhumanely cruel.
