If masked people with guns show up at your door claiming to be ICE, ask for their identification and badge numbers.
If they won’t give them, call 911 and tell the operator there are people with guns impersonating law enforcement trying to break into your house.
Everyone keeps posting this. What if they just break the door down anyway? Go around the back?
What if you're getting in your car? Already in your car (we've seen this scenario many times already)
At work? On the street? They're just grabbing people while they're saying they have ID, asking for ID, etc.
We see them accosting people and dragging them away. In chaos. And that chaos is intentional...it's harder to interpret body cams and video footage, understand what's being said, identify individual movements (assault), easier to claim resisting arrest, intimidate onlookers from interfering, etc etc etc. I used to lead conflict and mediation resolution training when I was a park ranger. Professionals "learn" to perform in that noise, shouting, movement, chaos...but it intentionally confuses and intimidates the suspects.
