The laws of armed conflict forbid combatants from feigning civilian status.
That is a war crime called "perfidy."

BREAKING: Massive Crowds of Anti-ICE protesters in Minneapolis, Minnesota as we speak. The tide is turning. America is Fed Up.
Americans should be fighting back against what is happening in this country. Having masked, secret police shooting people, breaking into homes and cars, is NOT normal.

Moulton: "When we had briefings on Venezuela, we asked, 'Are you going to invade the country?' We were told no. 'Do you plan to put troops on the ground?' We were told no. 'Do you intend regime change in VZ?' We were told no. So in a sense, we have been briefed, we've just been completely lied to"

Worth a read. I really never thought we'd be characterizing "federal agents" as the bad guys, but here we are.
When masked federal agents rappelled into Chicago, residents stood together and successfully pushed back against federal forces’ efforts to create chaos.

I will never get used to these videos of abductions by masked goons. This is not normal, not acceptable, not American. It doesn't matter if she was a US citizen or not--this is not how to treat human beings. Chilling.
Agents in Key Largo, Florida ripped this woman wearing medical scrubs out of her car as she screamed she is a US citizen. Agents cuffed her and put her in one of their cars.
She was eventually let go, per David Goodhue of the Miami Herald, who also took this footage:
