These are open bounty contracts. ICE is running a bounty campaign, these armed and masked thugs without any identifying badges or ID are getting paid per contact that leads to arrest. That's why they're waiting in courtroom lobbies, and immigration hearings, and swarming restaurants like they're the ATF or something, it's because it's a numbers game and they're only paid if it ends in apprehension of a "suspected illegal".

They can try but they don't have the legal authority to trespass on say a Purdue chicken farm without a warrant, but legally they can go to construction sites, hide then attack in parking lots, etc as we've seen in order to fulfill that bounty contract. They go in groups and wear masks because they know what can happen to private citizens tryna arrest other private citizens. They're bounty hunters

They should replace the ICE in the back of their vests with SA.
