Without a professional looking uniform identifying which agency they work for, with a shield and a badge number, it is reasonable to assume that if one of these guys is trying to grab you that you are being kidnapped illegally.

I thought they basically only hear the prosecution case.We already have possible jury nullification going on in Washington DC, if this is a real trend then we could see people accused of violence against ICE agents not getting any indictment because their uniform is ridiculous and the people decided that it is reasonable to think they were illegal criminals engaged in kidnapping.

I was thinking about taking the kids to the park for the first time in their lives, reassured that there would be wandering gangs of unidentified militiamen, but I was still a little hesitant.
Now with the announcement they'll be wandering gangs of unidentified armed militiamen, were definitely going, for a fun day out under the watchful gun barrels of a bunch of strangers from out of town.
