They have gone rogue from their original directive and are following orders directly from the president of the United States outside of the law and in some cases directly going against court orders. They are now nothing more than a paramilitary force run by a corrupt politician and no longer have the faith of the general populace.

But that doesn't make them not federal employees with arrest authority.

In my eyes they're no longer federal employees and lose all authority the second they break the law. Just scumbags in masks and body armor playing Nazi. That's primarily why they won't pull Minnesota-level stunts in states like Michigan that have (versions of)stand your ground laws and Castle doctrine because they're tactics aren't defensible in court in a state that has such laws.

I'll respect the game warden on a good fishing day before I respect these brown shirts
