    There’s gotta be some sort of secret code word you have to know,……no never mind. So far this administration are far too dumb to have even considered this possibility.

      Unless they have some special system where the key changes just repeating everything they say throughout the crowd would solve it anyway.

        you need the attitude too. Legs far apart, swagger. Dressup in as much suprplus military gear as you can find, the more useless and inappropriate for the situation the better. And dont forget your punisher patch.

      If you have small cards or “tickets” with people’s mother/native languages on it, the real racist POS people will probably not understand that?

      Or they will freak out at the sight of anything not American…

      These people are all coworkers in career LEO positions.

      You think one group of 20 dudes have Kevlar vests and their sidearms at home and just pitch up at a court house like it’s a shift at a Denny’s? These people have desks and a locker room somewhere where they see each other without masks. They know each other well before the masks go on.

        I’ve heard stories of two police departments confusing each other and literally get in a fighting match, so it might not be that far fetched

        (Undercover drug buyers meeting undercover drug sellers … hilarity ensues)

          Yeah, but that’s not the result the OP post expects, but instead “oh, you’re on duty now? Well, sure, OK I guess.”

          What you’re suggesting of the opposite. Legit other agency LEOs show up for a double-tap arrest and the first group start shooting at them because they don’t expect them.

        Lol no, these people are mostly flunkies who couldn’t meet the standards for military or actual police. Remember, ICE had been on a massive hiring kick.

          They are about to hire thousands more. Think about the type of person who would apply for that job. It’s not going to be people who want to help immigrants navigate the system, it’s going to be people who want to hurt minorities.

            Seems we could use a few thousand decent people to join ICE and start exercising some of the ideally non-violent techniques found in the CIA’s civilian sabotage field manual from WW2.

            “Oh shit. Sorry boss. I thought this ICE van ran on diesel fuel, not gasoline.”

            “Ah crap, I left the door to the detention van unlocked and all the prisoners ran away!”

            “What do you mean I’m lazy and unproductive? I’ve been at every one of our raids. Just because I didn’t apprehend anyone myself, doesn’t mean I wasn’t working.”

            “Look, I’m just being thorough. It’s important to check, double check, and triple check any orders or warrants. There’s a lot of people trying to sabotage ICE right now. That’s why I always confirm our orders both in email and in person before moving forward. I would also like to hold a meeting to plan how we might establish a committee on preventing leftists from sabotaging ICE.”

            Collect a paycheck, drain ICE funds, and be the most unproductive and incompetent ICE agent in history.

              I truly like this idea.

              Unfortunately, they’ll want to see my social media, and when they see that I routinely refer to the Faux President as HitlerPig, and Stephen Miller as PeeWee Himmler, they’ll probably escort me straight from the interview to El Salvador.

            There are other reasons to flunk out besides physical. Problems following superiors orders seems like a likely reason, but there are plenty to choose from

        I do actually believe Kevin has just been itching to use his mall ninja gear on something other than a punching bag and is absolutely using this as an excuse to abuse and attack people.
