The ICE-Gestapo Nazi Police of Donald Dumb are cowards. They cover their faces like the KKK, they wear no name badges. They are violent racists who don't want to be known to their neighbors, friends and relatives because they know what they are doing is wrong and will one day come back to haunt them. The only identification they display is the word "Police", they don't want to be filmed or see their violent aggressions against defenseless US citizens and immigrants documented.
Their role model, the German Nazi Gestapo police, was not afraid of notoriety; they were proud of it. But still, their past came back to haunt them when the dust settled and the Fascists were evicted from power, which is likely to happen in the US much sooner than anyone expects. Many German Nazis, up and down the chain of command, were tried and sent to jail, and the most violent were executed, even as all of them claimed innocence for simply "executing orders".
But the law does not exculpate criminals who say they didn't know that what they did was illegal or amoral. Just as you can't tell a state trooper that you did not know the law to escape punishment for a violation.
I've met many police officers and generally they were either nuts or racists or violent jerks. One of them, a state trooper with whom I went on a diving trip once to the Caribbean was an arrogant nutcase. He kept breaking the rules, like diving alone or diving deeper than safety allows. He was constantly getting drunk and causing problems for the group.
Another state trooper was corrupt. He schemed with his girlfriend who had an old car with a broken mirror to set me up: Without him present on the scene, she was blocking traffic on a side bypass road linking two highways. Snow banks were on both sides on the narrow road. I waited for her to move, but she wouldn't. I honked politely twice, but she wouldn't budge. I then passed her by going on the opposite lane and went my way. But this was a trap.
She followed me to the highway while speaking on her cell phone, and five minutes later, the state trooper by the last name of Leduc showed up and pulled me over. He said I had broken her mirror, which I didn't do. My pickup truck is huge compared to her tiny toyota and couldn't possibly have touhed her car when I passed her over. If my truck had touched her car, I would have stopped. Leduc gave me two options and one minute to decide: either he'll file a criminal citation for "hit and run", or I could settle iot "civilly" (i.e. through insurance). I chose to settle it civilly; I wasn't going to waste my time going to court to challenge the citation, nor did I want to have a criminal misdemeanor on my record. When I contacted my insurance company shortly afterwards to tell them what had happened, they weren't going to investigate the corruption because it was "cheaper" to pay the $150 for the mirror than to accuse a state trooper of corruption.
Senile Don's government and his ICE-Gestapo police have gone too far down the path of a brutal dictatorship that it has become afraid of its own people.

Why Did ICE Agents Arrest and Detain a 71-Year-Old U.S. Citizen?

Earlier this week—in a story that reads as a perfect encapsulation of abuses by Trump’s immigration enforcement—masked ICE agents roughed up and detained a 71-year-old U.S. citizen volunteering as a legal observer to monitor them at a federal courthouse in San Diego.
Grandmother Barbara Stone says she was documenting the detention of asylum-seekers with the group “Detention Resistance” at San Diego’s immigration court when she was baselessly accused of pushing an officer. Multiple masked agents then pursued Stone, grabbed and handcuffed her (leaving bruises), confiscated her phone and purse, and detained her for over eight hours, she says.
Once Stone was released, ICE returned her bag but kept possession of her phone. Why? Stone says an ICE agent compared the situation to “a drug bust where they keep a drug dealer’s phone because I had used it in the crime.”
But the only “crime” of which Stone says she’s guilty is documenting immigration enforcement. If this is true, the episode would track with other apparent attempts by ICE agents to avoid accountability of late, for instance, by wearing masks so they can conduct raids and arrests anonymously.
In a statement to a local outlet, ICE accused Stone of assaulting an officer, citing “a 700% increase in assaults” against its agents over the last year (a statistic the agency uses to justify agents concealing their identities, as well).
That 700 percent increase, it should be noted, is a somewhat misleading way to say there have been 79 alleged assaults against ICE agents this year, compared to 10 in the same timeframe last year. Meanwhile, ICE interactions have become dramatically more frequent and aggressive.
ICE’s numbers unfortunately deserve further scrutiny, as the agency has been defining “assault” quite loosely. In another high-profile arrest of a U.S. citizen, for example, ICE last month detained New York City Comptroller Brad Lander for assault—an accusation not unlike when a schoolyard bully accuses his victim of getting in the way of his fist, as Washington Post columnist Philip Bump put it.
One might add, to this list of questionable ICE allegations, its new claims about Stone.
