58. for the Record ICE are not the police or local law enforcement

they are running around like clowns making people think they are the police, they aren't . There authority is limited in scope.

Wearing Police is not legal, they are not a police agency and they are actually limited in what they can do.

ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) agents are federal law enforcement officers, not local police, but they often use "police" identification or wear "Police" on their gear because they enforce federal immigration laws, not state/local crimes, leading to confusion and debate over their authority and tactics, especially when they impersonate local police for access.

If they have no warrant they do no have a right to access anyones property.

I'm hoping that people find an attorney to file claims for damages, they are leaving a swath of damaged cars in the locale that are towed away. I sure finance companies and banks might want to recover them. A lawsuit is what need to be done .

I liked one video today that was made of ice banging on this guys door, he wasn't letting them in. They wouldn't say who they were looking for but he told them he believed in the Second Amendment and they were trespassing.
