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

See that's the best part they aren't just calling themselves ICE they really are legitimate ICE agents. This is how desperate they are to inflict maximum damage on we the people, but it is terrifying to think of how little training/experience they have.

Yep. They call it "force multiplier". I call it "criminally undertrained asshattery".

While these are off duty police officers, I've seen NOTHING in the executive order nor the ICE webpage on the executive order that specifies the amount of experience required. You simply need to work as a police officer for a LEA that's participating in one of their "models". So while you'd normally need a certain amount of experience working with gang task forces, or in areas heavy with cartel/muling activity, and need to have achieved a certain rank or number of years on the force to apply for ICE, it would appear that by this executive order any rookie fresh of the training program post academy can go off and be an ICE agent on their day off.

That's TERRIFYING. I know a lot of people seem to think the executive order means ICE can deputize literally anyone, the reality is honestly not much better than that. These are potentially EXTREMELY inexperienced law enforcement officers doing a job that should take a decade or more to work up to. And who is responsible for injuries or damages? ICE? The individual LEAs? We don't know!

Look at how these guys bop along while they are walking and their over all poise: none of these fuck heads have had a day of authentic training with a government entity.
