Outlaws are outlaws are outlaws.

Some criminal impersonating ICE today will be on the ICE payroll tomorrow.

Great job market for people with the highly sought after Jan 6 pardon skill set right now.

Some of the thuggish guys I knew in high school - not murderous types but definitely bullying and bent - became cops.
The new ICE recruits are the ones who couldn't make the cut into copdom.

@#2 ... Outlaws are outlaws are outlaws. ...

Yeah, when Federal law-enforcement agents start acting so much like criminals that criminal start mimicking their actions, and are so successful in the effort that the FBI has to issue a warning ...

What is the root of the problem that the FBI seems to be concerned about?

Here's a hint to spot the phonies: when they go after white women, you know those agents are not bona fide ICE dudes, in which case you can just shoot them...
