There are credible reports from ICE observers in cars being lead to their own houses. To be more clear, ICE is cars being observed as is one's constitutionally protected right, are driving to the homes of the cars observing them. This is intended to let the observers know that ICE knows who they are.
It does seem like a bad idea to let the general public determine a location for ICE to drive to in a way that will highlight which car is full of ICE agents, but that is just me.
Now I'm fairly sleep deprived at the moment so it could just be me, but I can't parse your first paragraph at all, especially the second sentence.
A couple key typos i think
I think hes saying ice notices a civilain tail, pulls their info, then drives to the tail's adress, letting them know that thw agents know who they are and can get to them any time, as a threat
Perfect, thank you!
National guard, for instance, is actual military, and has a LOT of rules for deployment.
I will break it down differently.
ICE agents are in cars, and the cars are traveling.
First Amendment Observers are following the cars with ICE agents.
The ICE agents are looking up the owner of the car that is following them.
The cars with ICE agents are driving to the homes of the observers, and pausing outside.
ICE agents are attempting to intimidate the observers by demonstrating that they know where the observers live.

Well normally when you have a car full of dangerous felons following you then the best place to drive to was the police station but it's 2026 and well, here we are..
I think it still might be the safest. Drive right through the front door. The local police are going to want to indict you, you did damage to city property and they have to answer to the city. The clusterfuck that is created if the guilty party is disappeared will be avoided at all costs.
In this case, the dangerous felons are being followed, but otherwise, yet.
