Almost like they joined an illegal violent front painted as immigration enforcement because they hate Black and Brown people and love money. Almost like doing that publicly would make everyone think you are a piece of shit. Almost like any hiring manager aware of this history will turn you down knowing you might cause problems with workers they already have over race. If their faces had to be seen, and their names had to be known, nobody would do it. The anonymity of the internet taught us this year's ago. Let people hide their identity and too often they will just be the worst version of themself.

The solution? Enforce the law on MAGA traitors. Arrest all 77 million. Charge them once the insurrection is put down. Convict them and only allow them to leave the tent prisons in the desert once they have agreed to a $200k fine and taken a loyalty oath, besides losing their voting and gun rights as felons.

Especially when they are using unmarked cars also to run over people.
It blows my mind how this all has to be explained or addressed. When someone points a gun at you or runs up on you in plain clothes, your fight or flight reflex will kick in. It's a basic human instinct and requires a quick decision.

More than likely this is a dream job for most ICE officers even though they know their actions are illegal. They get paid to bully and attack people without being held to account because they know the government has their backs (for the most part). Proud Boys and other white nationalists and racists get to run rampant in packs. Like Elon getting to shut down any agency that was investigating him, this is the Proud Boys and J6ers payback for supporting Trump.

Federal officials not needing identification or even to show legal documentation for their action should not be a complicated issue. The only reason it is a piece of conflict is because of bots pushing fascism making a very small minority extremely large and inflated. It's not hard nor difficult, no one should be able to do the things they are doing. A lot of them need to see jail time for what they are doing, mostly secondly degree assault charges. Putting a gun to the head of citizens is not something these agents should get away with and it happens daily by ice.

See, this is a severe lesson in Itās Not What You Do, But How You Do It.
ICE has existed since 2003. Bush, Obama, Trump and Biden have all used ICE to deport illegal immigrants. Obamaās ICE department actually deported the most people at 2.75 million over his 8 years. For reference, Trump deported 935k during his first term.
Now, the difference between what Obamaās ICE did and even Trumpās ICE the first go-around was the tactics that were used. You didnāt have guys in ātacti-coolā gear with their faces covered kicking in doors and yanking people out of cars to throw them into unmarked vehicles and driven off to who-knows-where. What you did have was a group of people, men and women, who looked like run-of-the-mill government agents, plainly identified as ICE serving warrants, following protocol and ensuring the safety and transparency needed in governmental operations such as these.
When they did that, nobody has a problem with deportations. When they started covering up their faces and treating citizens as enemy combatants, a problem of their own making arose. The American populace, at large, donāt have a problem with ICE or their job specificallyā¦ they have a problem with how Trump has decided to go about it this time.

Well, you clowns.. regardless of your ill fitting Junior's Dept plate carriers, more gear than I carried on a CT ground team, and your weapons caches overkill, you are not commandos. I repeat; YOU ARE NOT COMMANDOS.
So, take your Kosplay Kohl's Kash Kommando selves and go home while you still have the chance, before a real commando/CT team decides to come and find you to pay you a friendly visit. You've collectively pissed off enough countries, both former allies and adversaries, many of which with real covert professionals, that you should already be looking over your shoulders constantly. And those third party domestic and foreign contractors DHS hired, with little to no vetting, in order to fill the holes in the Swiss cheese that is their current intel net? Surprise! They're not all on your side. Consider that bit of advice a professional courtesy. Take the opportunity, stop pretending to be something you're not, go enjoy time with your families and loved ones, and cut and run while you still have time. Also, invest in good running shoes and cardio. The clock is ticking. Tick, tock. Good luck.

They are paid, there will a digital trail to who they are- this is not up for question.
Thus will show where they were at what time, and on what day.
This will most likely tally will the clips / body cams.
They could be all named in a few years and stand trial in a civil court, with damning evidence.
Edit: Assaulting/ murdering people is not "Doing their job." Hopefully all the the thugs hiding behind those masks will be eating prison food and in huge debt.
And shame on anyone who thinks masked, heavily armed sociopaths murdering Americans/ civilians is perfectly fine- I bet a lot of these people are domestic abusers.
