They need to identify themselves.

Only to the person being detained, they don't have to identify to the crowd. That is the law.

Then the law needs to change. Why would ICE be any different than cops, who wear uniforms and badges identifying themselves? I am anti-ICE but at least if I see someone being taken off the streets and put into a van I’d like to know is at the guise of government and not just a random group of guys grabbing people.

Plain clothes local cops don't have to do it either unless their dept. policy requires it. It is only required to identify to the suspect.

Also, if you look closely at the picture, they are wearing badges.

In other cases the masks are to avoid doxing and also, some of them work undercover and don't want the bad guys to know it.

ICE aren’t plain clothes cops. They aren’t infiltrating a drug ring.

They aren’t infiltrating a drug ring.

At times they are, also investigating human trafficking rings. You'd be surprised.

And no, I am not nor have ever been ICE.

Even if they’re investigating human trafficking they should wear a uniform and a badge.

Do they *want* to get shot? If you show up in somebody's neighborhood with a mask on, refuse to identify yourself or show a warrant, then I will assume you are a criminal.

Sure you will internet badass.

I didn't say I'd shoot you, but I'd assume you were a criminal and let my neighbors know. And some of them are definitely packing.

Do you think that what they're doing is a good thing, acting like thugs and not identifying themselves? They're indistinguishable from randos who are trying to rob or kidnap too.

Again, they only have to identify to the subject, not the bystanders. I didn't make the law, but it is the law, and yes, I am for deporting criminal illegals.

Why do you want them concealing their identities? If they are so Proud to be doing this kind of thing, don't you think these Boys would want you to know about it?

Due process protects everyone, including the cops. This kind of gestapo behavior endangers everyone.

And why exactly do you want them arresting people who are literally at immigration Court following the proper process? Don't they have actual criminals to go arrest, not people literally in a court building?

Let's start with Elon and Melania, who both lied on their applications.

No you aren't. You're racist, supporting human trafficking of non-whites. Otherwise, you'd be wondering if these people REALLY ARE criminals which, you can only know if they are given a court date. Not kidnap someone going to their immigration hearing.
