#law-enforcement-tactics

As a veteran of the war on terror, I have spent the past year watching Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers expand their operations across the country on a heretofore unprecedented scale and with a new faux-military bearing. From equipment to weapons to tactics, ICE and other immigration enforcement bodies want to be seen as combat forces carrying out their missions.

During the arrest, officers in tactical gear use a stun gun on one man and put another in a chokehold while belittling the situation, saying: 'You've got no rights here. You're a migo, brother.'
