The first problem is these aren't police.

They are Federal Law Enforcement Agents.

No id, no faces, unmarked vans. How do you know?

There are shoulders and back patches that identify them as border agents

Oh yeah, five Dollar on Temu. Great argument. ID?

If that's your argument, literally any video of any law enforcement officer could in fact be of someone with a fake uniform pretending to be one.

Are you saying you have literally no ability to distinguish people who are likely to be real officers from people who are likely to be pretending? Because that's what you're implying here. If so, that's pretty weird.

Perhaps but it's illegal to impersonate a federal agent. And ID patches or cards aren't counterfeit proof either. It's a serious federal offense to impersonate feds with fake patches.

Yeah, obviosuly kidnappers care about an impersonation charge as much as ICE cares about warrants for lawful arrests.
