These are abductions & disappearances. Dry runs for abducting citizens. If they are official they can identify themselve

So now they are intimidating witnesses. Conducting raids like criminals with covered faces and no badges.

ICE officers have no "authority". They are the enforcement wing of those with "authority" namely the US Congress
