Serious Guys’ desire for approval has them support anything the neoliberal consensus demands: abolishing neutrality and embracing EU militarisation; financialising the housing market; basing our economy on the tax receipts of a handful of US corporations.

So, I'm going to ask this here. When ICE is dressed incognito, no badge, no ID, refusing to self-ID, and they attempt to detain ANYONE, why can't we resist, intervene on behalf of the targeted victim, call the cops on them? Make a citizen's arrest?
There's no guarantee they are ICE. Right?
