    They want this to escalate. They’re just looking for an excuse to go to war.

      If they get it, it needs to be intimidating and creative.

    “Federal” “cops”?

      ICE is “Immigration and Customs Enforcement” which, yes, is a Federal-level law enforcement agency. They are absolutely considered “police” or “cops.”

      FBI definitely isn’t the only Federal law enforcement agency. Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) is also law enforcement, for example.

        Even the IRS has an enforcement (cops) unit.
