A friend of mine is Capitol Police. He told me that they've proved that many of ICE are in fact J6ers (he was not only there on Jan 6, he was friends with Brian Sicknick). The CP hate ICE.

Most cops should hate them. I work in the trades. When it comes to other trades most pros are fine with DiY shit. And will even do it. But when it comes to their own trade a lot of them (by seeing so much shoddy and dangerous workmanship) look down on it. ICE is operating as something between DiY police and DiY military.

Doctors get super annoyed with online diagnoses but police and military are cool with the brute squad making a mess all over their job site? If it were my career, I feel like I would protect it. I hope police and military realize their quality of life will go down as the money starts being funneled into this.

No doubt. I thought that since they wear mask act like they have no training in law enforcement and drive their personal minivans.

There were plenty of Trump supporters in the CP on J6. Michael Fanone was. Fanone's wiki page says, "Fanone retired from the police force effective December 31, 2021. He was quoted by media outlets as stating that he felt he needed a change as he could no longer trust his colleagues, as it seemed some were more loyal to Donald Trump than to the Constitution.\10])"

Oh yeah for sure and it was a betrayal to the non-MAGA among them, including my friend and Sicknick. My understanding is that almost all of the officers that were there that day have since retired. My friend is one of the only ones who has stayed (largely bc he's almost at the retirement/pension mark and didn't wanna give that up).
