Do they provide their own weapons? So many don't have uniforms or much of anything provided by the government.

If they use their own gear, that means they have illegal weapons at home. (Which is my bet, from photos. Plus they don't have a barracks, right?)

It also means they get to deduct this year on their taxes (if they even pay taxes). Plus many companies will give discounts to active duty and first responders, and, I assume, trumpy fascist larper terrorists.

what kind of incentives ICE or DHS are offering to get these people to sign up. Also what kind of training is involved, if any? Really a fishy operation in so many ways.

There is no control over these masked ICE GESTAPO goons.

No accountability
No names.
One never knows WHAT specific law organization it is or is not.

Gangs of ICE vehicles with non government plates, and also private vehicle plates too.

6. These are not professional law enforcement. I think DHS has deputized militia members.
