I thought they had to watch Matlock?

What are the odds that goon squad will take that advice? I’m guessing those Meal Team 6 goons can’t even spell “badge”.

Assuming not everyone who works for ICE is a goon, it's reasonable for the ones worried about being doxxed and harassed or threatened to tell the FBI to go pound sand and tell all applicable LEOs to do their job and go after people impersonating officers.

Soooooo ....LEO's should stop every person wearing or appearing to wear or claiming to be ICE, but not wearing identification and force these people to prove they are ICE before letting them go? Isn't that "Systemic ICEism"?

And if a bunch of "real" ICE officers get stopped by LEO's and asked to prove who they are, is BOZO in WAWA going to cry "foul and harassment" and send in the National Guard?

If ICE personnel act appropriately and in accordance with the law like any other law enforcement agency, they should fear no more "doxxing, harassment or threatening" than any other law enforcement agency, and they should not require their identity to be hidden any more than any other LEO's.? I mean, they didn't have the problem before the new administration moved in and decide to act outside the law.

If the cause of "doxxing, harassment or threats" is the action of ICE officers acting like goons, then shouldn't the other, proper, ICE officers put them in their place and ICE management discipline, and be seen to discipline, the goon acting officers?

I have had a bad feeling for a while many individuals repping for ICE are not officers but an organized and growing militia under contract. Maybe not, but their large numbers and demeanour often suggest something other than a public service oriented sworn law enforcement official.
It seems to me there quite a bit of room for private contractors in this, and bounty hunters. Might just be me but I don’t trust many of them.

A guess: most ICE work in groups; most ICE walts - like most LEO posers - work alone. Anyone who wants to contort themselves to create unlikely scenarios for a practical world is of course free to do so.

They are uniquely unpopular. Almost all LEOs mainly are a threat to the "assholes" in the "citizens, assholes, and other police" world view. Immigration enforcement is tasked with dealing with ordinary people who are neither citizens nor assholes but whose best fit is the former, and some of the citizens have convinced themselves that illegal immigration favours them in the congressional apportionment calculations and likely voter pool. In short, they are seen by some as a threat to political power. As we have seen, that leads to everything up to and including assassination porn.

I’d say the risk is more that organized crime looking to conduct a kidnapping might dress it up as an ICE snatch. That’s a realistic possibility.
