    undercover cops aren’t the secret police. ICE is the secret police. they operate completely immune to transparency and local control and with only secret courts to oversee their warrants

      They wash the same hands and serve the same purpose. Undercover, act like a random citizen in public, being a watchful eye for the state.

      ICE has secret courts, undercover agents use public courts, but the difference is just one happens in newspapers slightly more often. Either way, your life is fucked if either one wants you, even if you’re innocent.
