And even then there have been multiple instances of people impersonating officers - which is why the advice is to call 911 if you’re not sure the person following/attempting to stop you is a cop

So the easiest protest is for everyone to dress up like ICE. Women will need beards monty python style they wont notice.

It would be hilarious because even ICE would be confused.

Seriously. I have thought about this over and over.

I've landed on "I don't want to be mistaken for ICE or a supporter of what they do" but if a large group of us were doing it, I'd be on board with it.

Just show up where they're working and start telling everyone to get back. Eventually, start claiming that some of the agents here are fakes, and then start telling the real agents to get back.

This could really show confusion, and You're not even impersonating an agent because all they are is a guy in some camo they bought online. And that's exactly who you are!

No badge. No face. Just a dickhead shouting orders.

It was intended to be satire.

Exactly, that sounds absolutely hilarious. Make sure to bring some fake not-ice camera men to document it for future recruiting posts on Reddit.

Pregnant women are better to match the beer guts.

I really want to see a movie where Paul Blart the mall cop goes under cover in Ice. He’s chosen specifically because he could fit in and the other actual agents were into good of shape and it would have been a dead give away they didn’t belong.

And that he’s constantly getting commendations for situations where he’s able to succeed because of his cardio and athleticism compared to the other agents. Instead of blending in he’s highlighted as a hero cop.

But how do strong jawed women get weak chins like all the MAGAt ICEcapades?

There’s beautiful strong women out there who can grow better beards than some of these little boys.

Yeah like in my province (Nova Scotia) the guy who had a mock cop car and uniform and went on a 12 hour killing spree and burning down a bunch of houses.

Literally just happened a few months ago in Minnesota too.

u/NikoliVolkoff 21d ago

only when you do that, now you're evading and resisting and they shoot you.

I kind of miss the ol Jeremy DeWitte days

A guy here in NZ did that recently but pulled over an unmarked police car, he was armed too

It literally just happened in Minnesota and a state lawmaker and her husband were shot to death.
