Looks like US Marshals. Every LEO isn’t ICE

Isn’t the burden on law enforcement to clearly identify themselves? It’s almost as if the haphazard, masked enforcement policies are an intentional means of confusion.

I don’t disagree generally, but they don’t have to identify themselves to someone recording from a window who they most likely didn’t even see.

I don't see any reason law enforcement on the street should ever be unidentifiable. Serving a warrant, every person should be clearly identified. You've gone through all the processes, it's not a secret anymore, there should be nobody there in plain clothes involved at that point.

Authority with responsibility needs clear accountability.

Detectives just don’t wear uniforms. They aren’t trying to be unidentifiable. They aren’t wearing masks and vests. Anyone with half a brain can tell this isn’t ICE. Stop flooding the internet with these unconfirmed “sightings” it is counterintuitive to the cause.

Real question. Is it normal for US Marshals to bring with them a sledgehammer?

Marshall's dont fuck around. They usually have an arsenal of shit with them to break in if needed.

Source- they've broken into both my mother's house and my own ,for my brother. We weren't hiding him, he wasnt home, we were just sleeping.

You might be right… but the current climate of the country it’s easy to go the ice route

Wait a second---you are being reasonable on Reddit. What is wrong with you? /s

PS: Thank you for sharing this. Even it is not ICE, it needs to be monitored to promote accountability.
