This fits pretty squarely in the classic definition of assault in that it a) is unlawfully directed at constitutionally protected activity and (b) causes the victim to reasonably fear imminent physically harmful contact

The Trump regime wants to make it illegal to oppose them politically. They want to end freedom of speech and stop having competitive elections in which they can lose power.

Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.

The answer is in ICE's selection of targets:
* Democratic politicians in public
* Immigrants attending court hearings, at work, or at schools
None of those people will be armed.
On the flipside, ICE is scrupulously avoiding raids on cartel affiliates, drug dealing sites, etc. They might be armed.

I’m still surprised that in a nation drowning in guns and “stand your ground” rationalizations, none of these masked kidnappers have been shot at yet.
I still can't get past the idea that people in America are now supposed to accept that this is a valid form of law enforcement and just assume it's fine when random dudes in groups with face-coverings, no ID, no warrant, & no uniform grab people off the street and force them into unmarked vehicles

“This is a backdoor effort to fully reinstate the 1925 law.”
IMPORTANT new story in Bolts: Texas Republicans made a show of dropping language that criminalizes pregnant women from a bill they're pushing through the legislature.
But Bolts reports that the language still exists in another bill that's passing through the legislature.

Almost like conservative politicians understand their job is to *make their policies popular* instead of be the least offensive, least useful version of themselves possible, and maybe people who aren't trying to set the world on fire should behave the same way
right wing politicians somehow never have to make sure a policy is popular before they do their damnedest to make it law, but for some reason left wing activists need to have focus-tested everything they ask for before opening their mouths to make sure it won't alienate The Median Voter
