In its article, "The Bougie Fallout of ICE’s Crackdown in DC," Politico admits that "the services benefiting the well-to-do are most impacted by DC’s ICE crackdown." From the lede:
It’s a longstanding MAGA critique of mass immigration: the idea that the status quo amounts to a lifestyle subsidy for the class of Americans who frequent upscale eateries, get their kitchens renovated and hire nannies, landscapers or cleaning ladies.
And, for better or worse, a month of unprecedented immigration enforcement in Washington seems to be bearing out that critique.
The author also acknowledges that Washington's well-to-do are not a sympathetic demographic:
... The sector of the Washington population that has spiffed up gentrified neighborhoods via fancy kitchen upgrades or dived into the capital’s booming multicultural restaurant scene may well represent the demographic most despised on the Trump-era right.
