Serious question, how do local police know the unbadged randos grabbing women and kids are “federal” as they call them? Can those arrested by the local police in incidents like this obtain the identities of the agencies and men they supposedly obstructed in their legal proceedings?
ICE contacted Worcester police and said that people protesting the arrest were assaulting the ICE agents. It's possible but not guaranteed that those arrested can obtain records containing some identification information from the Worcester records regarding who the federal agents and agencies were.
ICE Agents have names & addresses. They may hide their faces behind masks, but they can be identified. Every one of them should be held accountable for violating laws and the right to due process. Ironically, They'll be given what they are denying others- due process.
They are sure acting like it since they are going after people so firmly in the system. It's a big priority for the administration to look like it is fulfilling promise to send massive numbers of criminals out of the country.
I doubt it. Because otherwise they would be arresting a lot of men. Instead they pick out women, children and preferably mothers to drive fear into the immigrant community. They are trying and succeeding at creating drama.
I spent twenty years dealing with them, mostly before they were ICE. They've always been horrible, but until now were somewhat restrained by higher-ups. No more.
So do they actually have the right to arrest people without showing warrants in situations like this? How about the cases where they don’t even show their badges? Wouldn’t citizens have the right to resist if they don’t identify themselves and/or show a warrant?
Shouldn’t the police protect the ones being taken into custody as long as the ones taking somebody into custody don’t at least prove that they’re law enforcement?
We need to start leaning on local government to direct local police forces to actually uphold the law. "There's nothing we can do; this is federal" is such a chickenshit answer to jackbooted thugs kidnapping the people -- your neighbors -- that you've sworn to protect.

And are the quotas liked to the bonus money $25k to $40k discussed in the new budget?
Problem is we already did that.
