    100% of ICE agents are actually criminals, but not all criminals are ICE agents.

    So you should assume they’re criminals and defend yourself unless they properly ID themselves

      …and since this is ICE we’re talking about, showing ID doesn’t make them any less criminal.

      When the Nazis are knocking at your door, verifying that they’re actual legit Nazis doesn’t help you. Your odds are shit either way, so might as well defend yourself even if you’re likely to land on the ‘or die trying’ part - it’s worth a shot.

        Also, do you think you could identify a federal agency card, especially if it’s just flashed at you? I sure couldn’t.

          It’s like in a movie when they flashed their credentials through the door peep hole And it just says FBI in blue ink. That could be anything. Are we going to make a law that they will abide to where they hand me their ID, I get to check the infrared markings and hold it up to the light to see the Reflective parts? Do their identifications even have that?

          I say shoot first ask questions later

    Is this not the logical fucking conclusion of establishing a secret police with no transparency or accountability.

    The only real way to sort this out is to shoot everyone who says they are federal agents but won’t identify themselves. Especially if they are wearing masks.

    Either you’ll shoot a bad guy pretending to be a federal agent, you’ll shoot a bad guy that is a cowardly federal agent. It’s a win win.

    Wait.

    So… Patel is telling Noem that her goons are doing it wrong, and they actually do need to present IDs, identify themselves?

    Come on Republicans, do a Night of the Long Knives already, just get it over with.

    How can they tell it’s not actual ICE? Just because they robbed an ATM, they aren’t real ICE?

    doubt

    Those who commit crimes against humanity should also ID themselves to make it easier for justice to find them in the future
