If you see Ice agents covering their faces, call 911 and report a masked man with a gun.

Please forgive my ignorance but isn't the police force in USA known for its violence and profiling? Wouldn't they be "in" on it, too?

ICE isn't alerting local law enforcement of what's happening. They get a call about a masked gunman and they'll show up.

Can the police do anything when they show up? Aren't ICE federal agents and above the local police's jurisdiction?

Shoot first, ask questions later

Finally, some thing they are good for!

When local police show up, they'll make the ICE agents identify themselves.

From what I've seen (admittedly completely online anecdotes), the ICE agents flee before the local pd show up because theyre cowards

Doubt. Lotta local pd at some of these raids.

Lie and say they looked black so police show up faster and use their guns before asking to identify.

Police are more likely to show up and open fire on the civilians

Cops are there in minutes when seconds count.

You must live in a nice neighborhood. In my experience when seconds count cops show up in hours.

You don't have to be the one being targeted to act against them. If I see gestapo going after someone, I'll make the call even though I don't fit the profile of who they're targeting today.
