Now We Know Their Names | WIRED
Masked federal agents are conducting immigration enforcement operations across American cities. Until now, no one knew who they were behind the mask. Using body camera footage WIRED spent months cross-referencing court records and reports to identify Border Patrol and ICE agents involved in incidents that left American citizens with cracked ribs and no answers. Still…

Unfortunately one day we might have to go toe to toe with ICE.

Dehumanisation works both ways, and the insistence of federal forces like this to portray themselves as faceless organisations for the sake of avoiding accountability is only going to backfire once that inevitably happens. Especially when compared to police forces and civilian militias.

Keep reporting on this. They recruited a bunch of untrained losers because they want incidents like this.

Sorry to be off topic, but what are those LED blinky things behind you? Are they random or are they sensing and reacting to something?

‘Look here’s their unique identifying numbers’ … ‘This community has no idea who they are’ … u don’t know the name of every police officer.. and how would u want to approach a group u have to deport because a small fraction are illegal terrorists & not innocent immigrants.. police in America are heavy handed & aggressive all to often.. but u do have the second amendment which complicates things.. how would u like to approach the public where a small portion are aggressive & armed against u?

I hope these agents have people show up to their homes and treat them EXACTLY how they treated American citizens. And if we lose a few ICE or CBP agents along the way… Excellent. They consume too much oxygen as it is

there is nothing to do with immigration. WH just wants to train a brutal force, not restricted by law , and ready to attack civilians with or without any reason. Every dictator makes such departments. They are full armed and have a gas grenades, because their real purpose in near future is to crack down protests, when, lets say, one guy will decide to be re-elected few more times, or change few privacy acts or civil rights here and there. This is why they are actively training now to gain the experience of blind hating and fighting civilians. There is no any other single reason to be dressed like that when going to arrest few immigrants.

I heard they were told to record violence against people because the government thought Americans would like it. That, and Stephen. Iller gets off on violent videos.

These ICE agents are criminals who signed up to hurt people. They are cowards and we will find them all and bring them to justice. We will not forget or forgive.

If you want to know if Americans are misinformed about their country just watch this hyperbolic and biased video and then the comments section. This country is doomed. I have said for 5 years that many people in the US are basically tribes based on ideology and they have no common ground. Plus they have dehumanized their opponents to the point that political violence is fair game. Most of them are not elected and very miserable people looking for a fight.

Every single ICE agent in this video needs to spend a long time in prison, and then never employed by any government agency ever again anywhere.

I would guess that half of them are “armchair soldiers” who no longer have to fantasize while playing Call of Duty in their mother’s basements and are now unleashed on the street of our country. These losers are either too cowardly to literally join the armed forces and protect our country or actually unfit physically, mentally or criminally to be allowed to serve in legitimate military positions.
@mick8888V

I’m shocked that they even filed e-star reports. I would imagine they will either stop doing so or redacting even more.

@Jack.0ctober
April 3, 2026 at 9:24 pm
So, we’re still relying on THEM for this information about their identities. We only have these reports IF they choose to file them. How many have gone unreported? How many details have been redacted, falsified or just plain left out? We only get the info they give us. Imagine how much is missing.
Still, thank you for this. It’s more than we had before. Especially the bit about the alpha-numeric identifier “flash” codes. I think might be the most important piece of information in this entire report. Please keep it up.
