The Department of Homeland Security has authorized arrests for those taking photos or videos of ICE officers. Volunteers worry it’s an attempt to stop them from documenting abuse. From @bgirledukate.bsky.social with @capitalandmain.bsky.social: trib.al/mPU6i8y
Homeland Security Tightens Rule on Anti-ICE Activities - The American Prospect

No more yelling (though of course one wants to yell) around ICE. Also, and I hate this, discreet cameras. If you can afford the right lawyer, this rule might not hold. But you’re going to want a good bank account or pro-bono
An example of the kind of person Border Patrol / ICE looks for.
No one is above the law. Off to jail, ICE. A 45-year-old Riverside County man, identified as an agent with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, has been arrested for allegedly detaining a minor at gunpoint while off duty.

Just so we are clear: ICE went into a day care center—a private business—without a judicial warrant, and unlawfully kidnapped a worker in front of parents and children.
