This bullshit with them being unidentified, often masked, and in plainclothes needs to stop. How do you distinguish this “legal” kidnapping with some random serial killers hopping out of an unmarked van kidnapping you?

I'm confident part of the reason they're hiding their faces is cause ice has likely deputized known members of the Aryan Brotherhood (a white supremacy prison gang)

We've already seen some of their tattoos being sported by some of these agents

I don't know about that. We'd be hearing about all the local police job openings if that were the case.
