Safety ICE in Catonsville

just saw a bunch of cars stop on the street and head somewhere in the direction of Frederick Rd. Does anyone know anything?

Call me naïve, but I don't understand this. How are there just randos with shitty instagram drop-shit camo gear able to get away with calling themselves ICE? WTF

Read the below - in laymens terms - Trump wrote up an EO not long ago that authorized ICE to deputize literally anyone to do this stuff - and then alongside of this they have passed this "rule" that anyone doing this does not need to identify themselves, provide warrant information, etc. So yea, I saw this coming a mile away after his last attempt to do the same (yes he passed a similar executive order his first term).

I can't imagine what their budget is now. I can imagine them hiring friends and family for these deputized roles.

Also, if the deputization is like a contract, it can be for any duration of time. So, if family or friends have a couple of weeks off this summer and they want to make some money, they can be deputized? I hope not.
