What?! Federal officers do not, by law, need to say who they are!

According to federal law, federal officers don't need to self-identify, but, state law says they do.

This is what they just said on NPR. I caught a piece of a conversation about the federal officers picking up people off the street. They said the press have been asking them who they are and they will NOT answer them! They have a difficult to see "number" to identify them. That is all.

Huge issues!!! How do we hold them accountable for their actions?

Congress is likely to have hearings. We need those hearings now!
