ICE "officers" are almost always.
A. Without badges, or have badges without numbers. Toy-store style.
B. Are faceless.
C. Do not have names displayed.
D. Do not have warrants.
These were mentioned, IIRC, in an ACLU complaint which resulted in restraining orders (see [0]) though the order addressed two points not specifically related to the above.
> The first TRO bars immigration agents from stopping individuals without reasonable suspicion and from relying on four factors – alone or in combination – including apparent race or ethnicity; speaking Spanish or English with an accent; presence in a particular location like a bus stop, car wash, or agricultural site; or the work the person does.
> The second TRO orders DHS to provide access to counsel on weekdays, weekends, and holidays for people who are detained in B-18, the federal building in downtown Los Angeles.
IANAL, but the four points I mentioned above are beyond acceptable police behavior, and likely unconstitutional. People have a right to document both daily public police actions and ones that are beyond the pale and likely unconstitutional.
Regular police officers have badges with numbers, faces, names and warrants.

- danaris 1y agoIt's not that they have any statutory authority to do so: it's that because Trump is above the law, and the courts have no power to stop him, ICE, which is his personal Gestapo, can also ignore the law.
