The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) says filming and posting videos of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents constitutes “violence,” and has threatened to potentially charge people who take videos and photos of agents conducting immigration raids in their communities, despite First Amendment protections.

    When everything you do is a crime because they say it is, you may as well make the crime count.

    Kirk sets a good example.

    If you're in public you can be filmed. Idk man. If "law enforcement" has to hide their identities, then maybe they are doing something they know they shouldn't be doing. The whole point of a uniform and badge is so that people can identify them as well as hold them accountable. If they wear plain clothes and hide their identities, then people will think they are a criminal/abductor and might react as such.

    I’ve been wondering if this is already happening.

    If, in the US, a bunch of masked guys not wearing any identifying badge or uniforms jump out of an unmarked van to abduct people, those guys are going to get shot at some point.

    It seems like that would be a logical outcome. I'm not in the states, but if somebody rolls up trying to snatch a neighbor off the street, and they're saying they're the police but they don't look like police and have no ID, I'm assuming they are criminals

    this is my guess to as why they do their kidnappings at government buildings, jobsites, and schools. places people arent allowed to be armed. they do grab people off the streets, but as far as the news has shown, places trumps has declared 'war zones' have been cities with restrictive gun rights. cali and NY are known as places its hard to own guns. in DC i believe they are banned.

    Just like running away from them and blocking their violent blows is "assaulting a federal officer".

    Identify them all.

    No expectation of privacy in public. And with scotus rulings no constitutional right to privacy either…

    This is not China, there are rules, and if you are not going to follow them, the people will force you to. Your identification does not get to remain hidden.

    I feel like the more small shit they penalize their citizens for, the more just doing large shit makes sense.

    you can't "doxx" public servants. being able to identify public servants (especially ones with authority to arrest or bear extraordinary force against their fellow citizens) is kind of important. my wife is a mere teacher and you can fucking look up how much she's paid by the district online. we don't even get that much privacy, all because she's a public employee. it's the tradeoff. every public employee, it's up there if you know where to look.

    Recording on-duty law enforcement agents is protected by the First Amendment.

    This makes it clear that DHS leadership doesn't even know what doxxing is.

    Since it’s legal to film law enforcement, are they saying ICE agents aren’t law enforcement?
