In authoritarian regimes it isn't uncommon for the state officers and soldiers to engage in casual theft along side their official duties. With the way our country is going, there is a non-zero chance this was an actual ICE officer just working his "side hustle".

Or was he a real ICE agent with a side hustle?

Only one thing to do now. We have to treat all ICE agents like armed criminals until they show their face, a badge, and a warrant.

Everybody pretends to be an ICE agent to steal or commit violence, it is an utterly illegitimate mob of thugs loyal to a dictator.

The only thing that isn't pretend about ICE is the bigotry and violence.

I see no meaningful difference between these people and "actual ICE agents".

I hope we start seeing people dressing up as ICE agents and then disappearing real ICE agents while they're off duty. Just round them up. When they protest and try to show their citizenship papers, just call them fake. What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

Remember, in the US, you can be charged for obstructing a plain-clothes officer's duties even before they ID themselves. (I'm not a lawyer but you could refer to 18 USC 111 or 18 USC 1501, or the fact that police don't need to know the law properly to enforce it, Heien v. North Carolina)

And, fake-ICE cosplayers like this guy can have their charges dropped by DOJ or pardoned by Trump.

So if you get visited by someone unknown, you're damned if you do or you don't. Demand a judicial warrant and wait to receive one with an actual judge's signature, before you open the door to agents you don't know.

If ICE agents behave like criminal thugs why wouldn't criminal thugs behave like ICE agents?

After the guy left the lady was probably like “thank god that wasn’t an ice agent.”

Dear Americans,

You're well within your right to shoot ICE agents on sight.

Nah, this isn’t what we feared would happen. We’re equally concerned with the actual officers committing crimes against people, if not more so due to their access to resources and being backed by the government.

Remember the right claiming Floyd protesters were all looters? Itso happens whenever the nation is in distress (in this economical and societal context) the smartest of potential crimedoers would take that as an opportunity. Whenever it's some natural disaster or social conflict, there would be some to use it. And it's fucking frightening that America came to the point that the thing that bothers us is that thugs didn't have a real license to do thugs' things, and every other article going by the #ICE tag is not just stealing, but kidnapping people into Salvador camps, so getting mugged by fake ICE officer is better than meeting the real ones now? It's a fucking circus.

How many ''ICE'' agents does it take to empty out a bank? I'm thinking of writing a Hollywood film.

It is like they should be identifiable. I forgot, but a member of congress made a good point how police have arrested way more dangerous people with their face and ID showing.

Nobody believes the made up attacks on ICE they just don't want the social backlash of being casted out of their communities.

He low key helped show why we want law officers to have a branded uniform, name tag and provide ID.

And now ICE agents are going to be attacked as criminals.

How can you police a population if no one can identify which are the cops and which are the criminals?

1. This is intentionally ambiguous
2. We have no way to say this wasn't ICE

White people trying to get rich the same way they’ve been getting rich for the last 600 years: by stealing from brown people.

Many commenters totally predicted this sort of thing.

How do we know it wasn't just a regular ice agent?

Just waiting for someone to dress up like ICE and kidnap ICE so we can have ICE with our ICE

Yo dawg...

So the solution to the forced deportation is to dress everybody in ICE "uniforms" and deport the deporter?
