How are the State Troopers or Police supposed to know who they're supposed to catch and arrest? I mean, I'm fully onboard with them rounding up everyone dressed as an ICE agents, taking them on a nice long ride back to headquarters and checking out their so-called credentials. Every time they go out to assault and kidnap people. If they claim to be the same ICE agents from yesterday, make them show their faces in front of the crowd unless they're willing to go back to HQ again. Because they could still be unlicensed thugs rather than the licensed thugs.

None of this gets at the root of the problem, but it would slow them down and put the cops and state troopers in the position of defending the innocent asylum seekers and undocumented workers, instead of being in cahoots with the thugs.

And they might very well catch some other abusive criminals as well!
