I used to volunteer at a community theatre. One year, they decided to do Dickens " Christmas Carol". The director and actor playing the Ghost of Christmas Past decided that part of the ghosts thing was that before it and Ebenezer started moving into the past, the ghost would blow glitter at him. Those of the employees who worked maintenance swore for years afterward they were still vacuuming up that damn glitter!

them any taking them (who knows where). I personally believe that if they were real federal employees that they would look different. That at least they would have US Gov license plates. They they would have some degree of uniformity to their dress, vehicles and armament.

Even the people on the same "raiding party" are dressed differently. The only thing that looks the the same are the vehicles in the raid. Not across raids but in the individual raid.

I could be totally wrong, but nothing looks like a government operation. I think my little 5 man sheriffs office deputies would look more organized and professional.

... that "Nosveratu" Miller had the pick of the litter from the Proud Boys, and chose actual ICE members for their malice, brutality, and diseased political beliefs. Hiding behind masks, and refusing to identify themselves with badges or uniforms is an essential part of the terror they quite purposefully want to instill in everyone, not just those who aren't white enough.
According to his uncle, that evil fuck was literally born a monster, and has to be taken off the board ASAP, and get his narrow ass tossed in El Salvador, never to be seen or heard from again.

But, it's not a highly toxic substance.
Which makes your idea even better, because using those balloons isn't threatening to the health of the target. So, it's a major inconvenience but not assault with intent to do bodily harm.

Glitter is made of plastic coated in metal, so it's a source of microplastics. It's harmful to the environment, to tiny organisms living in the soil, as well as to our oceans.

But scientists are studying a new safer version made from cellulose nanocrystals. So far it's promising, not harming soil organisms.
