    Is this not the logical fucking conclusion of establishing a secret police with no transparency or accountability.

    So you should assume they’re criminals and defend yourself unless they properly ID themselves

      …and since this is ICE we’re talking about, showing ID doesn’t make them any less criminal.

      When the Nazis are knocking at your door, verifying that they’re actual legit Nazis doesn’t help you. Your odds are shit either way, so might as well defend yourself even if you’re likely to land on the ‘or die trying’ part - it’s worth a shot.

      That’s why they’ve been targeting areas with low gun ownership and vulnerable demographics.

    Those who commit crimes against humanity should also ID themselves to make it easier for justice to find them in the future
