This sort of article would be so much more interesting if it started from a position of "he's doing exactly what he said he would" and then tried to figure out why the regretful Trump voters didn't see this coming

he's wearing camo and a tactical baseball hat, so at least he's appropriately outfitted for these conditions

If you want to actually help ID ICE agents today, might we recommend starting with these two (and no, don't do it in the replies):
