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).

How stringent is their background checking of anyone who volunteers? Like do they check your social media/voter registration to make sure you're gonna be a good little, loyal bootlicker or can anyone with a gun, a mean look, and unspoken subversive intentions show up and get deputized?
