ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.
CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

Seeing an esteemed colleague publishing a no doubt excellent history book on New Labour is a reminder of how I subjectively have trouble seeing that as history. Leading to my theory that we all have trouble believing history continues beyond the time when we started our first job teaching it.

It is how you learn to recognise certain esoteric things overtime. Like the group of women sat outside the cafe with babies of roughly the same age being obviously an NCT group, which would have been a mystery to me 20 years ago.
