In terms of danger posed to the public at large? noAre you really comparing an ICE arresting an illegal immigrant with DEA engaging with a dangerous drug runner? [yes, I guess you are]
In terms of it being a scenario where people (who disagree with a law) are far too eager to:
- "tip people off" so that arrest can be evaded
- Doxx the agents doing the job as a means of trying to intimidate them out of doing their job
...then yes, there are similarities
Sure, there is the risk of flight. I submit, the greater risk is to the rights of illegal immigrants and all citizens of this country if we allow masked, unidentified federal agents to arrest non-violent offenders.
An offense being non-violent is something of a distraction factor when it comes to certain matters.
The law is the law.
Martin Shkreli was a non-violent criminal, he was apprehended via a pre-dawn raid. Should we not have allowed him to be arrested since he wasn't violent?
Many of the agents tasked with raiding Mar A Lago were masked during that operation. As were some of the operators tasked with conducting the raid to arrest Roger Stone.
If a bunch of "MAGA bros" suddenly seemed awfully hell-bent on being able to know the identities of the agents involved in those raids, what would you assume their motivations were for wanting to know the the identities of those FBI agents?
