[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are routine ICE stops on my commute at least once a week (the Clara Barton).  Thinking maybe I'll dress-up as an ICE agent as I drive by...  hoodie, masked, all in black, no id.  Maybe we should all dress up like ICE agents at the next NO KINGS protest?  Well, probably not a good idea, but like thinking about this. [/quote]

I do think it's wise to wear a hat and sunglasses, and maybe a face mask at protests. Cover up anything that could identify you, ie cover up your backpack and wear nondescript clothing. Do not let them use AI and face recognition to find out the names of all the protesters. [/quote]

Help us know what an ICE stop look like since ICE isn’t wearing identifying clothing. How do you distinguish an ICE stop from other kinds of stops (eg, drugs) by LE.[/quote]

Well, the ICE stops I have been involved in involve several Park Police stopping cars on the Clara Barton.  Standing behind them are like 10-20 masked menacing looking ICE people waiting for the Park Police to stop someone - they look for ‘commercial vehicles’ which technically are not supposed to be on that road - ie landscapers, other contractors.  Then they pull them over and I guess take them away.  I usually just keep driving and try to take a photo discretely. That’s been my experience. It’s scary. [/quote]

Hmm. That doesn’t really seem helpful. I’ve seen those kinds of stops pre-Trump. No way to know for certain that’s an ICE stop.

I sometimes see 4-6 cars for traffic violations once a car is pulled over on secondary roads. [/quote]

Well, it’s true that as you approach the road checkpoint you might just assume it’s some sort of routine police activity or construction stop or who knows what.  But as you get closer you start to see a large number of masked people lurking about.  That’s when you know it’s an ICE checkpoint.  I have never seen masked law enforcement before.    [/quote]
