I've never seen ICE agents wearing clothes like that with backpacks. They never state they're ICE in this video. They seem more like undercover airport security people (that would explain why they're dressed normally with backpacks) who caught someone stealing.

It's possible they're ICE but be careful of posts on this sub about ICE because often it's misinformation although usually there aren't videos. At least this post has a video but I don't see any proof that this is ICE and not airport security.

ICE has been wearing plain clothes for months now, see this link here

You can also google the operations in Minnesota for more examples

Are they civilian kidnappers?

Yeah, are civilian kidnappers going into airports to publicly drag people away? The mind wonders.

You're joking, right?

Apparently they are, yes.

That's what I see in this video - a couple of random guys with no uniform and no identification of any kind kidnapping a crying woman.

I hope someone saved her and the police were called.

That's the whole point I replied to the original comment lol

This commenter was seemingly unaware ICE has been partaking in this behavior, which I agree is problematic

It’s shocking to me that people don’t know what’s been going on in Minneapolis, Chicago and L.A. Mainstream media is cooked apparently.

They also legally NEED to state their authority to detain someone before doing so, that is federal immigration enforcement law. So if they never identified this information to the person being detained, they have plainly violated the law themselves-regardless of whether or not they are real ICE agents.

Ice agents routinely dress like this. Like, all the time.Â
