“It is a sign that people aren’t happy within the U.S. government, clearly. The shooting [of Good] was the last straw for many people," Dominick Skinner, ICE list founder, told The Beast.
Information included in the new leak includes around “1,800 on-the-ground agents and 150 supervisors. Early analysis by the organization suggests that around 80 per cent of the staff identified remain employed by DHS,” according to The Beast.
The vast majority of cops will refuse to provide any identifying information. As long as the arresting officer complies, it holds up in court. Everyone else does whatever they want and waits to see if a lawyer cares enough to subpoena the department for all the bodycam footage they already conveniently destroyed.
ice isn’t special in that regard. They just understand they have no intent of giving anyone they abduct a trial (because “they aren’t citizens and have no rights”).
Same with the constant escalation to pretend that everything is a riot or a swat raid where cops need to wear protective gear so that they don’t teargas themselves and have to assume everyone is going to hunt them down after work and shoot them (and, for legal purposes, that would be a very illegal thing and thus bad).
