It is just too easy for low-life scum to impersonate other low-life scum and no need for warrants or ID.

Yes, because they want to remain in the U.S., they are terrified of being deported, so they hunker down and work hard.

immigrants aren't criminals as a rule; they don't need to be afraid to play by the rules. Some of them won't. Same with most Americans.

I think that NONE of the thugs doing the actual dirty work of rounding people up are employed by ICE. I think ICE has contracted that work iut to private firms, so that they can claim that ICE agents never mishandled anyone. It was all done on their behalf by hired goons.

So, what’s the difference between a real hired goon and a fake hired goon? One robs your freedom, while the other robs your money. It’s probably not always clear which is easier to replace.

I suspect this is happening far more often than is being reported. Immigrants are scared and aren’t going to go to the cops after being robbed or assaulted. They are easy pickings for criminals with a fake ICE shirt.
