On regular and social media, we often see photos and videos of men in masks wearing all sorts of odd and mismatched gear who are supposed to be ICE agents.
But are they actual ICE agents or is DHS deputizing militia members or other pedestrians?
Example:

And the use of a suppressor? Not sure that is standard issue for a regular ICE agent either, suspicious.
No way this is official gear for real ICE agents.
Then we have instances where these supposed "agents" are pulling guns on people.

So what is going on? Is ICE just out of control or are we looking at pedestrians deputized as DHS employees?

'ICE agent' pulls gun on man taking photos of his car
Activists post footage which also shows suspects being led away by masked agent.
