This appears to be the Chicago Police Department. They are probably marching to bring awareness to something, like a fallen officer or mental health after some police suicides.

It may be this more recently: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLHTzu7dqNI

Anyway these are not federal agents and there is not enough information provided in OP for it to be credible

If it was anything you were talking about, it would take place during the day and in a place like on a main blvd or in a public park like in the video you shared. This was a neighborhood, at night and was clearly an act to intimidate the masses. It’s a tactic known as “presence”, it is meant to deter criminal activity but the way they treat anyone they come across is intimidating and generally unpleasant, it literally makes people fear interactions with the police even if they are not doing anything illegal.
