The answer is in ICE's selection of targets:
* Democratic politicians in public
* Immigrants attending court hearings, at work, or at schools
None of those people will be armed.
On the flipside, ICE is scrupulously avoiding raids on cartel affiliates, drug dealing sites, etc. They might be armed.

I’m still surprised that in a nation drowning in guns and “stand your ground” rationalizations, none of these masked kidnappers have been shot at yet.
I still can't get past the idea that people in America are now supposed to accept that this is a valid form of law enforcement and just assume it's fine when random dudes in groups with face-coverings, no ID, no warrant, & no uniform grab people off the street and force them into unmarked vehicles

Authoritarians want you to feel isolated and alone, to feel like their vision of the world is the only one.
That’s why taking part in public protests matters. You connect with other people like you and you show those numbers off to the world. It’s a great feeling. Try it!

It's kinda crazy to remember that the mass protests today got their start (and name) from a tweet about congestion pricing
