According to DHS, if a US citizen observes and documents the actions of ICE/CPB personnel, this is "impeding a law enforcement operation," particularly if you are documenting unlawful or criminal conduct.

All of this comes from 'victim-jelousy'. 'You think you're oppressed? I am even more oppressed.'

Imagined victimhood is a foundational tenet of fascism. Persecution fantasies permeate conservative politics. Their great oppressors include racial diversity, science, drag brunch, children's literature, public education, N-95 masks, electric cars, medicine, the rule of law, empathy, and Ms. Rachel.
ICE agent Jonathan Ross, who shot and killed an unarmed civilian, flew a don't-tread-on-me Gadsden flag at his house, per the Daily Mail.

im sorry i know it sucks but journalists are going to have to be willing to get fired for simply describing what they see happening with their own eyes, you look like fucking morons
"Was the officer struck by the vehicle, as President Trump insists, or did the car pass by or around him?"
If we only had some trusted institution that could adjudicate between competing claims by relying on facts.
