I ponder, "Whose to say..."

I keep reading and hearing of these ICE arrest. I see these guys, with their faces covered, dragging and handcuffing people who then disappear. My question is how do we know they are ICE? Seriously! How do we know they aren't a bunch of white nationalist, KKK, dressing in ICE DRAG and doing the unthinkable? It's happened before. We all know of news articles and videos where law enforcement has been imitated and crimes committed.

I am afraid that some of these "arrest" may not be what we are lead to believe. Nazi's did it. KKK did it. Whose to say, in this era of distrust, that we are seeing an actual ICE raid?

Why should they not have to show up with a bare face official who will be held accountable should something be deemed criminal?

Whose to say everything we read and see is actually real deal in these cases?

Any thoughts? I welcome them!

May You All Be Healthy, Safe and Happy....AND LOVED!

My thought is that most of them are not ICE. J6ers? LoisB May 2025 #5
We should look into how many ICE agents are J6-ers... Wounded Bear May 2025 #8

You're right. For as far back as I can remember, Men have been posing as law enforcement to pull women drivers over and assault them. This is just the next step to happening to everyone.

Thanks for your reply.

anyone so assaulted by these masked and unidentified persons,
would be legally and morally entitled to defend themselves with DEADLY ARMED FORCE,
under the provisions of current Florida law....


and ought to be thus entitled to do such nationwide, IMHO...
