    Criminals posing as US immigration officers have carried out robberies, kidnappings, and sexual assaults in several states,

    I'd need to see some exceptionally compelling evidence to be convinced they weren't actually just ICE officers doing this.

    And later in the story...

    A senior ICE official tells WIRED: “Anyone caught impersonating themselves as a federal immigration agent will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Impersonating a federal immigration officer endangers public safety and erodes trust in law enforcement.”

    Only the bootliquors still have any trust remaining. Fucking trust. Lol

    We've reached a point where lawlessness is being championed by both the law and criminals. Add to that we have elected a felon/pedophile president. What a time to be alive - sigh.

    Organized gangs finally had their lightbulb moment?

    In Cyberpunk, the NCPD is basically just another gang. More organized than the Valentinos or Tiger Claws, but pretty much the same by the end of the day.

    In real life though, ICE seems to be a lot like a gang too. Have they pivoted to drugs and violent extortion yet? You know, if you smuggle guns and slaves, you can make a lot of money?

    You can only win a gun fight if you have superior numbers and firepower. Otherwise it's just certain death for the assaulted.

    We need to bring back the concept of a citizen militia.

    Plausible deniability.

    Reports of a masked ICE Agent murdering an individual filming an ICE raid, then fleeing the scene. "That wasn't an actual ICE agent. Don't worry, it's... 'under investigation' and we'll never release any information about the incident ever again."

    I always thought protesters should wear jeans or tan tactical pants, boots, vest and plate ($35-50 from Amazon), a tacticool utility belt ($20-30 from amazon), helmet ($30 from amazon) a black Balaclava Ski Mask ($6), with sunglasses. On the right chest have a random ID number like "A462". Slap an American flag patch (or a Police gang patch with the blue line).

    You could even throw in a functional gas mask for $50

    These ICE creeps don't have a proper issued uniform. They bought their shit off amazon as well. I saw one dude who looked like he was wearing airsoft/paintball stuff.

    Can you imagine the confusion if everyone dressed in tacticool? Those untrained ICE idiots would be completely lost.

    Well, that's probably just part of the Pink Conspiracy. They've been stealing your slack.

    They just had a cool doc about them come out not that long ago. Sadly, the podcast/Hour of Slack has come to an end:

    https://archive.org/details/hourofslack

    The Hour of Slack was produced weekly since 1985 by REV. IVAN STANG (PO Box 807, Glen Rose, Texas, 76043, USA) -- more years than Johnny Carson or David Letterman were on the air. The show was discontinued in June, 2022; host Rev. Stang simply got burned out after 37 years of weekly shows. His hearing loss wasn't helping either.

    And do this on Halloween so they can't arrest you for impersonating an officer either! #lifeHacks

    Sorry 🤭

    EDIT: Oh, wait... no, wait a minute... does the fact that they don't have an officially issued uniform really mean that technically you could argue in court that you were not impersonating an officer? That. Is. Wildly stupid of them if true.

    As long as you had nothing on your "uniform" that said Police or had a badge of any sort, they would be hard pressed to charge you with anything. If they nabbed you, and you weren't black bagged to a blackzone and disappeared, you could always say you arrived to protest wearing a helmet, plate carrier, gas mask because of the documented law enforcement violence towards citizens. The pouches and utility belt could contain things like first aid supplies.

    Oh, oh, I know! How about they release an app, or a website, where we can take a picture of the face of any of these Agents, and it will confirm if they're actually one or not.

    On a serious note, it would be very useful to have a better system of confirming who is an actual agent or not. Something like plugging their badge number into a website and they have to confirm a daily code or similar.

    This just tells me that the "real" ICE agents, are doing criminal stuff and the FBI are just getting in front of that. What did they think would happen when you give the otherwise unemployable a badge and a gun, and empower them?

    Immigration laws are civil, not criminal. Undocumented immigrants aren’t criminals.

    you saying I'm misunderstanding something doesn't make it true.

    As it stands there's 2 situation in which imigration could lead to criminal charges- one is re-entering after deportation. This really doesn't happen. The other is entering at a place or time not designated. This also really doesn't happen. (The people crossing the border are being "caught" by Border Patrol officers because they sit down and wait to be caught, and then invoke their right to seek asylum. something which is legal.)

    neither of these are happening. Immigration court isn't even able to try a criminal case, because immigration law is not criminal law.

    Historically, those who have been anti-immigration (and almost always nativist) have found themselves on the backfoot of contemporary history; choked and fetted by their own irrational hatred. Oftentimes, they've served as phenomenal kindling to their own demise.

    Just another bloated body to be sloughed off.

    At this rate someone's going to feel legally justified to defend themselves and others with lethal force from potential criminals.

    Honestly, the jury selection process is stupid. It depends on people to either live under a rock, or to lie about their character. Our jurors should be informed on the world and have opinions. Fairness achieved through witless conformity is justice by committee.

    If we want better trials, getting rid of one-sided testimonials like the grand jury process, would be a much better way. It is weird how prosecutors get to put forward only their viewpoint, while the defense can't. Randomly splitting the jury in half to listen to the defense and prosecution's argument, then having each half hear the other side's story, would be a better approach IMO. That removes the first-mover advantage to story telling. Also, a 20 minute snack and drink break for each session, to remove grouchiness as a factor.

    That is the problem. If they kill a criminal it will be considered self defense. If they kill an agent, it will not

    Also, if they are ice and they use lethal force, ice will use lethal force too and argue it was self defense
