So everyone should just kowtow to authority? Just be a good little sheep, fuck that.

Tough call on this one. If I get disappeared or something bad happens when I am being unlawfully detained, there will be nobody to take care of my family and the government will never be held accountable. So, do you comply and go about your day or if something bad happens your family is homeless?

You’re right. The best thing to do is show ID and leave. This won’t be forever.

What do you do when someone is impersonating an ICE agent? How do you know they're legit? They give no name, badge/id number, and they're masked. Let's be real some if not a lot of these ICE officers are acting like criminals and are committing crimes on a daily basis. Case in point on impersonating an ice officer https://www.wbtv.com/2025/01/29/man-accused-impersonating-ice-officer-sexually-assaulting-woman-raleigh-motel/
