I imagine they'll soon be putting a spin on George W Bush-era legal arguments about the applicability of Geneva Conventions on "non-uniformed combatants". In this case, if the ICE agents weren't uniformed at the time of arrest, they can't be considered agents of the federal government, and thus can't be subject to legal redress.


Does that mean they’ll just be trespassers that can be shot if they enter your property unannounced like a gang of hooligans?


It's not a coincidence that they're arresting openly unarmed people like student protesters and now judges.


2nd Amendment and self defense arguments could be argued if you shoot plainclothes officers in fear of your safety.


In theory, but how many of them are you going to shoot before they shoot back?


Not saying anyone should but in that case they are.
