The Guard is milling around with the protesters, in arms reach and in the same place tear gas or pepper spray would be deployed. This is a fantastic way to both show solidarity, respect for the rule of law, and protect innocent folks excercising their rights from ICE. I’d say the comfort level goes up with acts like this and makes it even easier for people to convince friends and family to join in the protest. ICE is already scared to show their faces and apparently losing morale, so I say keep the pressure on with things like this before pulling the trigger and jumping straight to Civil War 2: Everything is Awful Here
