New: The FBI is quietly urging ICE agents to properly ID themselves in the field.
In a bulletin to law enforcement last month, it warned of criminals posing as ICE to rob, rape, kidnap—a problem it says now demands national coordination to confront.

I’m definitely going to watch this Hannah Arendt documentary now streaming on PBS.
Arendt was a political theorist who coined the phrase “banality of evil,” which inspired the famous Milgram experiments into how every day people could suppress their own morals in the face of authority.
