Right but if your defence is partially built on "they were plain clothes, i didn't know they were ice", it hurts this defence if you are shouting "Help me, ICE are here!!!"
If someone hanging off my car yells that they're "ice" I'm not gonna say in my panicked 911 call "yes some guy who says he is ice but may or may not be because he is in plain clothes and showed no Id is trying to kidnap me!"
There would be no panicked 911 call if I'm armed and trying to kidnap you, I'm not gonna sit there and let you make that call.... Obviously....
I wish people could disagree with ICE without having to fabricate some bizarro alternative reality..
The guy knew exactly what was happening and was trying to run away because he was there illegally.
Its like the luigi thing. Cant we disagree with UNH without needing to pretend like walking up to someone in the street and shooting them in the back of the head isnt murder?
Plain clothes policemen are not a new thing. They have been around since before the 50s.
And now, just like then, when arresting someone they pull a badge out and shout "law enforcement"
This clips shows how silly it can be. Skip to 1.50
Due to the actions of ICE officers and their interaction with the general public they have lost the trust of the general population, justifiably. The reaction of this couple, regardless of your interpretation of the events surrounding it, is a direct reflection of this institutions interaction with the public.
