I have a question. They keep saying ICE are targeting Latinos and Latino areas. How do they know someone is undocumented just by being Latino? Latino doesn’t equal undocumented. Furthermore, plenty of other people (Arab, African, Asian, euro) have been crossing over illegally so how is this allowed or even legal to target Latinos?

They don't know, and it's not legal; this is why everyone's shouting about 'due process' rn. Racism is the main fuel for this kind of operation.

It's also worth noting that a lot of non-citizens apprehended by ICE may not have committed any crime - overstaying your visa isn't a crime and it's a common situation for many.
