FYI, if you are filming police or ICE, get a 360 camera for your car and park your car somewhere where you can access film of how your car was parked. Film your car when you park it, and film any parking signs when you park. Take it from someone who had their car towed repeatedly.

Around here, the police are usually escorting or protecting ICE, so like, they know. Honestly, the only time I’ve seen any friction is because the local PD is upset about jurisdiction, not their actions.

I get it, but not exercising normal law enforcement alternatives seems like a form of surrender in advance. We wouldn’t give this up in any other environment. What’s more dangerous?

In Illinois it is illegal for our PD to assist ICE in any way. If I see anonymous people dressed like military goons harassing brown people, I would absolutely call my local PD to ID the goons and make sure they're legit. If they refused to help, I'd call my reps, senators and governor.
