I don’t think anyone is suggesting such impersonations wouldn’t be rare, but it’s already happening. I’m less worried about OP’s rhetoric than how to ameliorate the effects of ICE’s methods and actions under this administration. Every young woman of color, at least, should probably think about what they’d do in such a situation. Surely, they shouldn’t go along with any masked person identifying as ICE? Can this fear be used to change public opinion about the procedures used in these arrests?
