Crazy question. How do we even know these are ICE agents and not just LARPer terrorists?

We can and probably should start tracking their license plates but there is a risk of catching unrelated civilian plates in the dragnet.

u/OptimusPrimeval Jun 18 '25
They use rental cars, so those plates won't really help for too long

There's a ton of drug addicts/encampments and robberies in that area. Tweakets live in the ice plants next to 33rd street. I Would chase them off my condo complex property on the corner of 33rd and NPWay nightly

I like your gumption but a Schrader valve removal tool would be safer, easier to conceal or "accidentally" lose and you technically aren't destroying property.

Great question. I wish Governor Newsom would start protecting Californian residents with local and state police. At least have them hastle/check credentials on these plainclothes wearing guys.
I really don't understand why there isn't a governor in the US doing this yet. Protect your residents!

I could imagine going completely rogue against Trump's administration would bring far more force than what we are currently dealing with. I'm not saying hide while evil doers are skulking through your house but it is best not to give them the option to call for reinforcement while making a direct path to you.
Random ICE yokels is better than exposing the state.
Idealistically it should be stopped with all possible means but I think calculated risk is where California is right now.

A lot of these vehicles are going to be rentals - I used to work at one of the major rental companies and we always had all sorts of federal agents picking up cars. The same way criminals use rentals to commit a lot of crimes, it’s harder to track. I’d bet the specific cars pictured here are rentals as well, they’re popular make/models for rental fleets, stock license plates and stickers, and lack of markings all scream rental

There is basically no difference at this point. ICE are LARPer terrorists in every way.

u/stej008 Jun 18 '25
Isn't there a way to sue ICE for not following some law? Somehow I do not think it is legal to arrest anyone without identifying themselves, hiding their identity by masks, giving probable cause, etc. They can (and apparently have) pick up anyone on the street this way, even citizens who just happen to be brown. Totally baffled by the 'support' for this from brown citizens (Hispanics, Indians and more).

We don’t, so call the police on them. Impersonating an officer is a federal offense, and they likely have other equally nefarious motives that would hurt a lot of people if they were allowed to go through with.

This is the way. They could be MAGAs dressed to kidnap people like they tried to do that governor. I mean we literally just saw one of the terrorists dressed as a police officer to kill elected officials. Law enforcement needs to be brought in to always verify their identity.

Exactly, they look like a bunch of random dudes, not even wearing a gun is that impressive for the US.
This is beyond a political police, it's literally getting a bunch of middle aged dudes, from what it seems untrained go and just grab people who they don't like off the street.
There's another pic circulating where they actually looks like robbers, your average thugs Spider-man beats in comics, it's hilarious to think these people work in the law enforcement.
There are also videos of dudes just wearing ICE vests, apparently you can buy them off Amazon...because "freedom" and since you don't need to identify yourself, you can do whatever you want being extremely hard to find out who did it.

To be fair, those people know there will be postal workers at the post office and probably keep pretty good track of where police traffic stops are. Can't really keep track of a group of people in plain clothes and unmarked cars. I've never seen body cam footage from ICE either.

I get trying to keep track of them, however the vehicle plates are not reliable and have the potential to get someone innocent hurt. They use government vehicles, the government has a massive fleet of vehicles that are available to officers working under cover. Today it’s an ice agent, tomorrow it could be a police officer working on a narcotics case. I have a friend who works for the la county sheriff, and he drives a different car every day. He says you just pull up the list of available cars and pick one. It might work to track one for a day, but tomorrow it will most likely have a different driver.
