    “Where are you taking these prisoners?”

    “These are prisoners.”

    “Yes. Where are you taking them?”

    “I am–taking them–to imprison them–in prison.”

    We already are dressed like ICE agents, minus the face covering. You know, because they dress just like anyone else and don’t identify themselves at all.

      YES! Finally, my dad-bod is gonna come in handy. To the closet I go to don the most middle-age cop polo I can find! We’re playing dress-up!

    I wonder at what point of khakis and face covering you cross the line into impersonating an officer.

    I’m picturing the conversation with the ICE guys. “No we’re with unit 2. Yeah the other unit. You guys can go get lunch, we’ve got this one.”

    There’s a small possibility that ICE could start pretending to be not-ICE escorts, but that would require them to have an IQ above room temperature

      So they become NNICE. Then there will be a NNNICE. We can beat them with confusion. It’s SUPER effective!

      Under the body armor they can wear a pride flag. That’s the official badge of NICE! Flash that to those that may want to cause trouble for NICE agents!

    Don’t do this. The immigrants will get a charge (felony?) for not showing up to court.

    Assuming we think we can get through this with our current laws intact, documenting everything for them is what we should do.

      you misread the situation. the post suggests giving folks rides home after their court hearing, which is when ICE has been doing their dirty work in a lot of cases.

      but i appreciate your good will :)
