As I understand it, the black Panthers were so successful, laws were passed to stop them; why don't people LEGALLY walk in groups open carrying to keep ICE polite?

In states that allow open carry without a permit, do so; in ones that require a permit or license, get one; of course again, keep everything within the bounds of the law.

Edit: also travel in groups, the larger the better

How does SWAT rapid response actually work? Are there a bunch of guys constantly ready to go in a warehouse somewhere?

depends on the department, but usually the pigs in the department's swat team(s) are also regular cops and they get notified by dispatch when they are needed if they are clocked in, or literally paged if not
then they put on lights and sirens to get to the station quickly and arm up

What even is SWAT, are they part of the normal police?

heavily armed response teams and yes, usually
