That wear masks to cover their faces and refuse to identify themselves?
That carry guns and snatch people off the streets without warrants?
That threaten the American people with fascist tactics?
Where did they come from? Are they ex-military? Are they pardoned criminals from the January 6th insurrection?
How much are they paid? What type of bonuses do they receive?
That pledge loyalty to the convict in charge of our government?
Who are these people that ignore our laws and our Constitution and spread anxiety and fear on the streets of America?

(21,950 posts)I cannot figure out where these hateful grotesque people came from. Even on out Nextdoor discussions, the hate and utter sadism is being stated as a valid point of view.
America is diseased and that is becoming more evident as politicians support this.

(13,817 posts)That's who a lot of them are. Deputized by the orange slime to fill up the ranks. They don't have badges, that's why they don't wear them. Likewise warrants, don't have any. And they don't wear name tags or give their names because they know they'll be doxxed.

(1,751 posts)We might find out. This can only go on so long before someone packing heat turns their gun on one of them. Not advocating, but predicting.
I am honestly surprised it hasn't happened yet. Maybe that's why they go after 60 year old women instead of hardened gang members.

Overview
On thin ICE: Protests erupt in New York and Los Angeles over ...
ICE agents are personnel of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), a law enforcement agency within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Their primary duties involve enforcing immigration and customs laws to protect national security and public safety. This includes investigating crimes, apprehending individuals who violate immigration laws, and overseeing the detention and removal of those who are not authorized to be in the United States.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO):
.
ERO officers are responsible for upholding U.S. immigration laws, focusing on individuals who pose a risk to national security, public safety, or border security.
Homeland Security Investigations (HSI):
.
HSI special agents conduct federal criminal investigations into transnational criminal activity, including illegal immigration, human trafficking, financial fraud, and other crimes that threaten the U.S.
Investigations:
.
ICE agents investigate various crimes, including the illegal movement of people, goods, money, and weapons, often targeting criminal networks that operate across borders.
ICE's Role:
.
ICE agents play a crucial role in combating terrorism, preventing illegal immigration, and upholding the integrity of U.S. borders.
Identifying ICE Agents:
.
ICE agents typically carry official badges and identification cards. If there is any doubt about an individual's identity, it is advisable to ask them to present their credentials.

That has certainly not been working, even when elected officials ask.
They either don't have ID or won't show it. WHich is it?
And who is employing them?
