There’s 0% chance this is true
Fedposting to try and get gullible youths into ‘impersonating a federal officer’ charges
Of course, if ICE actually wore some standardized uniform with identification, then sure, impersonating a federal officer.
But since ICE is generic whatever tacticool, seems it’s too easy to ‘accidentally’ impersonate and it’s unfair to accuse someone of impersonating.
Of course ‘unfair’ is their whole strategy anyway.
God you nerds are so stupid and gullible
Yeah go ahead and try that line in court see how it goes after prarieland
Virginia passed a law to require them to wear unique ID and not wear masks unless there was a medical reason that made it necessary. The federal government took them to court and it’s currently suspended due to a judge approving an injunction.
Would be hilarious,if true, but I’m highly doubtful.
It is not. Just your regular social media disinformation.
I won’t support disinformation just because it is supposedly for the good side.
I’d believe people are dressing like them and causing confusion. Might even work for getting better footage of their actions. But they start fighting with each other like they don’t recognize the people they work with… That seemed dumb.
Everyone in the comments is wrong. It doesn’t need to be a funny and clever meme, and it isn’t trying to convince anyone to do this. It’s trying to get in front of ICE eyeballs to sow distrust, and you should help.
This requires a pretty crazy media diet for ICE agents. Also seems literally opposed to the community topic.
Homer thought bubble: [memes can be shared in multiple places]
Nobody is describing the bastard pigs’ media diets as “sane”, that’s for fucking sure.
By ‘crazy media diet’, it means in context. ICE agents reading a lemmy instance feed seems… unlikely.
Crazy as in ‘absurd from the known facts’.
In what way that won’t get me at risk of being thrown into an federal facility or shot?
You’re not going to be there silly, you just share the meme where chuds will see it.

Not everybody wants to die or get tortured for their values. If that were the case, I would have been dead by now.
Right, much better to admit defeat right out of the gate. Amazing values you have there.
You do you. If you want to act by any means necessary, nobody’s stopping you. I can handle risk management properly, unlike you. This conversation is over.
Cowards get blocked.
There’s nothing more cowardly than telling other people, presumably in a different country than you, to throw their lives away from the safety of your computer chair
Got an org that’s actually ready to go?
Adventurism solves nothing.
This sounds like something ICE would publish, hoping to catch someone dumb enough to try this.
But would it actually be illegal to try this? It’s illegal to imitate an officer but ICE doesn’t wear uniforms and badges so IDK if dressing in Cabela’s cosplay really counts? I’m not in any way suggesting that this is a safe activity, ICE shoot people for no GD reason, but I’m also not seeing an actual crime
I’m not a law-man, but my laypersons understanding of the law against impersonating a police officer hinges on intent. If you intend to deceive someone into thinking you’re a LEO, and that can be proven (or can’t be disproved beyond a reasonable doubt) it’s illegal. Doesn’t matter if you’re in a suit trying to convince someone you’re Special Agent Mulder, or if you’re in body armor and a mask trying to convince someone you’re ICE.
Also as an American I 100% agree with magikmw’s point, that illegal or not it doesn’t matter if ICE decides they don’t like it - until you can manage to get in front of a judge, which may not be guaranteed. Then again even if you do, it has to be something you can reliably prove.
They’ll beat and punish them regardless of the law. Haven’t you been paying attention?
Remember that it’s them who decides what’s legal or not until maybe a judge/jury say otherwise.
The absurdity of their lack of consistent uniform and identification aside, in this hypothetical the people start impersonating not simply because of their tacticool cosplay like ICE, but by being among them and accusing others of being the fakes, implicitly asserting they are the genuine ones. So if you happen to be tacticool cosplaying in the vicinity of ICE agents without taking action, then maybe you are in a defensible. But acting on that adds an element.
Of course, this would mean something except when dealing with a ‘shoot first, ask questions never’ scenario…
S-tier play
Even the most jank ass crew will notice when a random joins the huddle, come on now.
Normally yes, but the levels of jank and asses involved in ICE have not been possible to test until now.
I agree but also there are times where 30 agents show up with random shit. Who’s gonna know?
I’d all but guarantee this isn’t happening anywhere, but it sure makes for a good meme.
I mean… why not? In my opinion getting shot while following in the footsteps of Till Eulenspiegel and the “Hauptmann von Köpenick” is a honorable way to go…
