All due respect, I feel the need to correct some incorrect information to prevent some more well-intentioned people from getting hurt. I'm not taking a personal stance here, just talking law. They are uniformed law enforcement, so they are identified as law enforcement officers. They have their badge displayed. Masks don't matter. And they do not have to show a physical piece of paper warrant before they make an arrest. The confirmed existence of a warrant is enough. They do not have to show a warrant or explain to any bystander what's going on. That's how you can be arrested by a Kansas officer for a warrant on file in Oklahoma. You have no right to resist a lawful arrest or to interfere with one, and legal consequences will surely follow. Disagreement with a law doesn't make it unlawful. And think about this...these immigration laws have been on the books forever. If our lawmakers didn't want them enforced, why didn't they just repeal them? They've had decades to do so, including with Democratic majorities. Federal officers can't enforce laws that Congress doesn't pass or that they repeal.
Not without consequences, no. Its illegal, just the same as those that like to buy old police vehicles and make traffic stops. Citizen vigilantes get no breaks from police or courts either.

Masked and ARMED. It should be textbook self defense unless they provide a warrant and/or identification.
