Yeah I mean this is basically what the black panther party set out to do in black neighborhoods, escort people and keep the peace

    "Where are you taking these prisoners?"

    "These are prisoners."

    "Yes. Where are you taking them?"

    "I am--taking them--to imprison them--in prison."

    We already are dressed like ICE agents, minus the face covering. You know, because they dress just like anyone else and don't identify themselves at all.

    I wonder at what point of khakis and face covering you cross the line into impersonating an officer.

    I’m picturing the conversation with the ICE guys. “No we’re with unit 2. Yeah the other unit. You guys can go get lunch, we’ve got this one.”

    There's a small possibility that ICE could start pretending to be not-ICE escorts, but that would require them to have an IQ above room temperature

    Sounds like a recipe for friendly fire and bad company.

    Don't do this. The immigrants will get a charge (felony?) for not showing up to court.

    Assuming we think we can get through this with our current laws intact, documenting everything for them is what we should do.

    you misread the situation. the post suggests giving folks rides home after their court hearing, which is when ICE has been doing their dirty work in a lot of cases.

    but i appreciate your good will :)
