Taking a cue from a graphic novel and the subsequent movie, is there any law in the United States preventing common citizens from dressing in a ball cap, face covering, cap, and sunglasses when traveling in public? Add a vest, and I'd say you've nailed that fashion trend?

I'm not sure if that's a good idea to start as a trend. It'd make it easier for actual ICE agents to hide in plain sight.

I don't think making it easier for state-endorsed terrorism to fly under the radar is a good strategy for stopping it. If you physically intervene with every terrorist-fashioned individual you see you're much more effective when they're all actually ICE and not just trolls. And I'd very much recommend that course of action.

    Some places (like part of Long Island, naturally) have made it illegal to wear a face mask.

    Still legal to wear a full face motorcycle helmet?

    Wear all the gear! Basically modern day armor.

    Reinforced knuckles and boots for your self defense.

    I ride motorcycles, so this already was my plan for attending protests. They have back, shoulder, elbow, knee and hip pads built in, plus you can add chest pads to many of these jackets. Range of motion is a bit restricted, but that's a small price to pay for protection from a beating

    Is it illegal for ICE to wear them? What about people experiencing medical symptoms or people with immunodeficiencies? Or was it aimed at protesters trying to protect their identity?

    I don't like that ICE or people pretending to be them wear masks, but this seems like a dangerous precedent.

    Yeah, that way you could kidnap whoever you want and look legit doing it.

    To what end would you be imitating those fascists?
