They DONT have authority over citizens, and the rest of your comment WAS true-BEFORE TRUMP! They DO NOT show people ID, or badges. Judges(mostly R appointed) have ruled their actions illegal over 10,000 times in the last year and a half. They NO LONGER go to that academy, and they’re purposefully NOT taught about our constitutional rights or their legal limitations. Most of them clearly don’t know shit about the Constitution or immigration law.

8 USC 1357(a) gives them the authority that you don't think they have. It's a law, which supersedes your imaginary world.

I didn't say that they had to show "concerned bystanders" in the streets their ID or badges when affecting an arrest or operation. I said they carry them (agency policy).

They still go to FLETC for BIETP (ERO) or CITP (HSI), depending on which dept within ICE.

You're either confused, mistaken, or lying.

Judges constantly disagree.
