In a bulletin to law enforcement agencies, the FBI said criminal impersonators are exploiting ICE’s image and urged nationwide coordination to distinguish real operations from fakes.

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

    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.

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

    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.

      That’s why they’ve been targeting areas with low gun ownership and vulnerable demographics.

          Yea…in areas that they’re staying the hell out of. They’re not going into gang territory if you have noticed. They’re hitting up daycares and grocery stores.

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