When I find myself staring at a gaggle of these ICE “agents” in the field, I don’t feel fear. I feel a profound sense of embarrassment, because I know a trained, educated federal agent when I see one.

To be clear though, agents do have to carry DHS badges and IDs, and the system tracks them even if or names were hidden. If we couldn’t show you our credentials, we had no legal authority over you. And it will probably piss people off, but even though HSPD-12 says badges and IDs should be visible, it’s mandated that DHS put personnel safety first, and flashing a badge at a pissed off crowd is a legit safety risk.

Same goes for warrants. Cops knock and announce, usually, but SCOTUS lets them skip that if it’s deemed too dangerous or would fuck up the operation, but I’m talking about proper warrants signed by actual judges, not DHS administrative warrants. They still have to get consent to enter with those.

It’s not actually illegal for DHS to use unmarked cars without lights though. 41 CFR § 102-34.175 says department vehicles are allowed to operate without official markings or plates. They only equip a handful of cars with lights anyway.

When it comes down to it though, courts generally care way more about whether the arrest itself was legal than whether an officer was wearing a mask, so covering up in a dangerous area is just common sense. (Graham v. Connor, 1989)

So, the department can argue that their operations place agents at a much higher safety and security risk and regulations/policies are in their corner. In the end, it’s really about minimizing the risk to agents and other personnel. Between facial recognition and doxing, which even before Trump’s second term began was quite prevalent, masks were a core safety component.

DHS Directive 044-05 says agents can’t use force unless there’s an “imminent threat.” Trashing someone’s shit for no reason came with consequences. Same for using chokeholds, or carotid restraints. Those are/were banned unless it were a life-or-death situation, but the department has no fucking integrity anymore, and honestly, neither does our government, who continues to treat these rules like suggestions.

Giving someone a badge, service weapon, and tactical gear does not make a cop. That comes with training, knowing rules, regulations, policies, and statutes inside and out, and by constantly keeping your mind, body, and reflexes sharp. The gym, Jiu Jitsu, Muay Thai, hand-to-hand combat, and meditation were my religion.

But first and foremost, and this is drilled into you from the time you are onboarded, all the way through your career; your safety and welfare, the safety of your fellow law enforcement partners, the safety of the public, and protection of constitutional rights are your pillars.

The ICE personnel DHS has pranced out to terrorize the nation, is beyond incompetent, unskilled, and lazy. People who have no experience, no training, and no ability.

If you point your loaded service weapon at people’s heads during photo-ops, or twirl them like you’re in a western, or hold them sideways, drop them, or lose control of them, while a subject comes inches from taking them from you; you should be fired before you ever make it back to the vehicle you arrived in.

You are a threat to the safety and welfare of anyone in a three block radius from you, and you should be permanently barred from holding any law enforcement license, anywhere. I have no issue with you losing any firearms licensing/permits you might have, or need either.

They escalate immediately to violence, having made no attempt to deescalate, or properly manage the scene.  
They approach civilians, regardless of what those civilians are saying/doing, with no respect, barking at them like they were raiding a cartel dope lab.  
They treat subjects they’re arresting with gleeful sadism.  
They shoot at moving vehicles, which used to be a serious violation of policy.  
They shoot civilians, in the back. Because they’re too stupid to bother with whether they’re actually who they’re looking for to begin with.

DHS agents have no authority to convict anyone, let alone somewhere on a random American street corner. DHS agents are not a court of law, nor are they judges, magistrates, or juries. So, while they might be perfectly within the guidelines and regulations with their neck gaiters, swapping license plates, and refusing to identify themselves, they’re not God.

They hide behind policies that aren’t being enforced or are being ignored, if they even exist anymore at all, and why bother anyway, when you have an OPR/OIG that’s now willing to look the other way?

We wore tactical gear, masks, even neck gaiters during active operations too, but we wouldn’t be caught dead accepting an assignment that required us to betray the Constitution, and the citizens of this country that we all took and oath to uphold and protect.

Our job, our task force, our objective was to hunt down human traffickers, and bring their victims homes.

How many innocent people have ICE turned into victims, and how many of those victims will never come home?
