not ICE. ICE would have shown up en masse with at least thirty guys, huge assault type vehicles, and each carrying an assault weapons

The ACLU and others have reported on the practice.

Back in 2017, Rep. Mike Thompson and 40 other lawmakers sent the director of DHS a letter objecting to the practice.

around our parts still using the ICE vests. Maybe because of our local governments not wanting them confused with the local Police?

I wasn't suggesting that they exclusively wear "Police" vests, but that they wear them sometimes.

I know quite a few American-born people who don't speak any English. I feel like that's the real criteria these fascists are operating on.

Check esty to see how easy it is to get tactical gear to look official. It can be ordered with custom embroidery to add to the cos play feel. There's a reason these assholes are wearing masks. They wouldn't don masks to save lives during covid, but are very pro-masking when they are abusing people.

Many of these people, are not even police, but getting the gear and stenciling ICE on the front and back.
The ones I worry the most about, is all the Militia Members spread out across the nation, and in particular the 1600 who were in jail that Trump pardoned. You can bet your sweet Bippy that they, and all of their associates, are ALL hell bent for retaliation and a feeling that they can do anything they want................

Except in a handful of states. In most states, all it does is establish identity.
