It has been said that the ICE thugs assaulting people are actually moonlighting corrections officers and bounty hunters.
The best way to find out is start requiring them to provide ID when making arrests, and if they don't, arrest THEM and charge them with state charges for kidnapping.
Then you'll find out who they really are.
Someone noted that there are probably more criminal records and active warrants among these for hire scum than there are among the people they are abducting.
This shit has to be stopped.

Police have the power to investigate. A rapist was arrested pretending to be ICE. Also the murderer in MN pretending to be police.

(13,756 posts)it may sound inflammatory, but the 2nd Amendment was drafted out of fear that a rogue president of the US might try to invade a State and repress the freedoms of its people. LEO, including state regulated militia, qualify as "well regulated militia". I've even heard that the LA Unified School district police may be setting up perimeters to protect graduation ceremonies.
