>Police in southern California arrested a man suspected of posing as a federal immigration officer this week, the latest in a series of such arrests, as masked, plainclothes immigration agents are deployed nationwide to meet the Trump administration’s mass deportation targets.
>The man, Fernando Diaz, was arrested by Huntington Park police after officers said they found a loaded gun and official-looking documents with Department of Homeland Security headings in his SUV, according to NBC Los Angeles. Officers were impounding his vehicle for parking in a handicapped zone when Diaz asked to retrieve items inside, the police said. Among the items seen by officers in the car were “multiple copies of passports not registered under the individual’s name”, NBC reports.
>Diaz was arrested for possession of the allegedly unregistered firearm and released on bail.
>The Huntington Park police chief and mayor accused Diaz of impersonating an immigration agent at a news conference, a move Diaz later told the NBC News affiliate he was surprised by.
>Diaz also denied to the outlet that he had posed as an officer with border patrol or Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice). At the news conference, police showed reporters paper they found inside his car with an official-looking US Customs and Border Protection header.
>The arrest is one of several cases involving people allegedly impersonating immigration officials, as the nationwide crackdown on undocumented immigrants intensifies.
>Experts have warned that federal agents’ increased practice of masking while carrying out immigration raids and arrests makes it easier for imposters to pose as federal officers.
>Around the country, the sight of Ice officers emerging from unmarked cars in plainclothes to make arrests has become increasingly common.

>In March, for instance, a Tufts University student was seen on video being arrested by masked Ice officials outside her apartment, after her visa had been revoked for writing an opinion article in her university newspaper advocating for Palestinian rights. And many federal agents operating in the Los Angeles region in recent weeks have been masked.
>In late January, a week after Trump took office, a man in South Carolina was arrested and charged with kidnapping and impersonating an officer, after allegedly presenting himself as an Ice officer and detaining a group of Latino men.
>In February, two people impersonating Ice officers attempted to enter a Temple University residence hall. CNN reported that Philadelphia police later arrested one of them, a 22-year-old student, who was charged with impersonating an officer.
>In North Carolina the same week, another man, Carl Thomas Bennett, was arrested after allegedly impersonating an Ice officer and sexually assaulting a woman. Bennett reportedly threatened to deport the woman if she did not comply.
>In April, a man in Indiantown, Florida, was arrested for impersonating an Ice officer and targeting immigrants. Two men reported to the police that the man had performed a fake traffic stop, and then asked for their documents and immigration status.
>Mike German, a former FBI agent and fellow at the Brennan Center for Justice, told the Guardian last week that the shootings of two Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota, by a suspect who allegedly impersonated a police officer, highlights the danger of police not looking like police.

>“Federal agents wearing masks and casual clothing significantly increases this risk of any citizen dressing up in a way that fools the public into believing they are law enforcement so they can engage in illegal activity. It is a public safety threat, and it’s also a threat to the agents and officers themselves, because people will not immediately be able to distinguish between who is engaged in legitimate activity or illegitimate activity when violence is occurring in public,” he said.

>>1417270 (OP)
Great so we have masked vigilantes now. Soon they'll openly start wearing hoods like the KKK.

>>1417282
They're already hiring bounty hunters, like those goons trying to get people to sign self deportation papers at gunpoint. I'd say it's gonna get messy, but it already is.

>>1417282
Expect crime on the level of the mob in its prime; no one knows what is a legitimate federal officer at this point. You can be held at gunpoint and have to flip a coin to determine if you should fight back and risk going to jail, or not and become a victim. Unidentifiable cops are a recipe for disaster and this WILL eventually escalate to people getting killed on both sides.

We will see if the feds keep defying laws like this one.

>>1417313
I have no doubt they will

>>1417303
And then Trump can paint that as violent left-wing terrorists and use as an excuse to crack down even harder. Remember, he wants unrest. It’s by design.

It’ll be hilarious if they all claim to have converted to Islam and become trans so they all have to wear veils.

Quit L. A. R. P. ing. It's not that bad, the Big Orange buffoon polls best on refugees, and Herr Stephen Muller aka the ashkeNAZI PeeWee German puppet Master knows what strings to pull. In 3 years, it'll all be over, and then US retards can vote for another corporate Democrat

>>1417431
You have a fascist penis up your anus and you don't even know it

>>1417431
Fuck off with this "doxing" shit. You don't want your identity known don't go into law enforcement of any kind; you are, by definition, a public official. Actions have consequences and transparency helps ensure the don't get away with blatant abuses of their power.

After looking to see if California has a legal definition of a "public official" I see that they do. And it also includes:
City trash collectors are public officials.
Motor vehicle department workers.
IT employees, Clerical staff, Administrative employees, or really anyone paid by the state or local government.

Something tells me you don't actually support doxxing public officials, you just hate law enforcement because they keep harassing you when you try to smoke fentanyl in your tent behind Starbucks

>>1417473
It's not a matter of "doxxing", it's a matter of people having a right to know who is a member of law enforcement. Anonymous law enforcement has no accountability; you cannot report someone for abusing their power if you do not know who they are, and you cannot trust law enforcement if you have no idea who is and is not legitimate members of it.

Also, knowing the names and faces of public officials is, by definition, not doxxing. It's part of the fucking contract you sign when you become one that you are fine with people knowing who you are. It's the whole fucking point.

>>1417475
secret, anonymous police aren't a weird thing for Russian shills
They don't understand thats not how its done outside of third world countries

>>1417475
>knowing the names and faces of public officials is, by definition, not doxxing
But cataloguing their identity and creating databases to harass them is.
CNN is getting investigated precisely because they advertised an app designed by democrats which helps them identify, harass and obstruct federal officers.

>>1417492
>But cataloguing their identity and creating databases to harass them is.
Cataloguing people's identities doesn't mean you have jack shit to do with harassment. The identities of law enforcement should be an easily searchable public record. The same should go for any other group with a large amount of public trust. Politicians. Teachers. Judges. Whoever.

The elementary school I fucking went to has an easily searchable staff directory with names and faces. You can fuck off with your secret police bullshit.

>>1417522
The thing you're advocating for is called cyberstalking, and it is definitively harassment.

>>1417524
NTA but having a public registry of public officials isn't stalking. They can keep their addresses secret because that's privacy, but if you're serving a public role your name and face have to be visible.

>WASHINGTON ― President Donald Trump and Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said the Trump administration is exploring prosecuting CNN for reporting on an iPhone app that alerts users to Immigrant and Customs Enforcement agents in their area.
>"We're working with the Department of Justice to see if we can prosecute them for that because what they're doing is actively encouraging people to avoid law enforcement, operations," Noem told reporters alongside Trump on July 1 as they toured a new detention center in the Florida Everglades known as "Alligator Alcatraz."
>The threat followed a CNN report detailing a phone app called ICEBlock that its creator, Joshua Aaron, said is designed to be an “early warning system” for users when ICE is operating nearby. The app currently has about 20,000 users, many who live in Los Angeles, the nation's second most populous city and one of the hotbeds of Trump's mass deportations of immigrants in the country illegally.

Oh no, not "cyberstalking" and "harassment" whatever will we do? Fucktard, they're breaking down people's doors without warrants and disappearing them via extraordinary rendition while completely bypassing due process.

Should someone be allowed to destroy your life while being nameless, faceless, and unaccountable?

If you think people with masks, costumes, guns, and trucks ought to be allowed to commit any crime they want, you must *love* all those radical leftist rioters, huh?

>>1417473
Do trash collectors wear masks to hide their identity? Is the person behind the counter at city hall wearing a bandana around their face?
Here's a better question, do the actual police who show up to support ICE wear masks? Don't answer, it's rhetorical, they don't wear masks.

>>1417559
Its pretty simple
No badge, no face, no warrant - they're not a law enforcement officer
Just shoot the random white chuds kidnapping people for no legal reason

>>1417558
>Should someone be allowed to destroy your life while being nameless, faceless, and unaccountable?
That's literally what ICEblock encourages you retard. From their own website:
>ICEBlock is an innovative, completely anonymous crowdsourced platform that allows users to report Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activity with just two taps on their phone.

>>1417561
you have such bad takes that it might as well be satire. you're a dunce

>>1417561
>Oh god they're really destroying their lives by reporting when masked, armed men are forcing people into vans

>>1417565
They're shooting at them, retard.

One of them is a federal agency enforcing the law, the other is a bunch of anarchists committing sedition.
If you want to larp as the confederates that's your call, I don't give a shit.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sedition
"Sedition is overt conduct, such as speech or organization, that tends toward rebellion against the established order. Sedition often includes subversion of a constitution and incitement of discontent toward, or insurrection against, established authority"
>And that's just fucking funny.
Lincoln suspended habeas corpus and executed members of an invading force.

They aren't ICE, they're just masked thugs kidnapping people.
Hope that clears it up for you, although we all know you'll keep shilling.

>>1417583
ICE was created in 2003 through a merger of the investigative and interior enforcement elements of the former U.S. Customs Service and the Immigration and Naturalization Service. ICE now has more than 20,000 law enforcement and support personnel in more than 400 offices in the United States and around the world.

Anyone who argues against deporting illegals implicitly denies the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the United States and denies the legitimacy of our lawfully elected government. Arguing against enforcement of border and immigration regulations is by definition sedition and possibly treason as well. Those who riot against immigration enforcement are rioting against the legitimacy and sovereignty of the state and are therefore insurrectionists.

>>1417584
you will 100% die alone and nobody will mind

>>1417584
If they don't identify themselvse, wear masks, and don't show documentation, then they aren't federal agents and they aren't law enforcement.
None of the other shit you says applies.
You're allowed to shoot masked thugs kidnapping people in broad daylight.
Why do you have the second amendment? Are you jealous that your shitty third world government keeps you castrated while Americans enjoy real freedom?

>>1417585
You're being deported, unironically.
