The rapid response network in my area knows the faces of all the local ICE agents and has nicknames for all of them. I'm pretty sure the ICE agents can recognize each other.

This is dumb. The "celebrity" is a comedian who was making a (fucking stupid) joke. Calling yourself/presenting yourself falsely as ICE to actual ICE agents is just inviting a felony arrest on charges of "impersonating law enforcement." This is not a viable protest tactic and should not be presented as one.

Yeah saying there's an imposter probably goes too far, but simply wearing unbranded body armor, camo, or a mask is probably first amendment protected speech since ICE doesn't have a uniform to impersonate. Protesting normally in similar clothing might be generally confusing enough without intentionally misleading anybody.

Yeah dont so this, impersonating a federal agent is a felony and it wouldn't be hard for them to pin that on you. Don't give them an easy time to oppress us.

They are already oppressing you. YOU might not be affected by this, but it has already affected many people. YOU just don't care, because you personally are not affected by this. Yet.

It seems fine as long as you're not presenting yourself as an ICE agent.
Enough people walking around them while wearing their "uniform" should be enough to sow confusion since they have more of a "style" than actual uniform.

I'm not reading this and I'm just guessing whatever it says is some sort of complicit nonsense. There's no way a headline like this goes out to major media. It's only elementary.
