If you frame your claim that something is wrong because it is harming a *privileged* class, this risks implying it would be fine to do - just depends to whom.

I understand the reasoning behind zeroing in on ICE & DHS abducting citizens. But when you lead with what's perceived as your most sympathetic cases, you cede the moral high ground & make arguing for others harder. It is wrong for armed, masked gestapo to grab people - doesn't matter their status.
