A liberal said to an ICE agent, "You guys are ruining this country, you know that, right?"
The ICE agent responded with "Liberals already ruined it."

Beyond the standard arrogance they display (they all have that same "I WANT YOUR BADGE NUMBER!" trait every other nigger and Karen who ever gets arrested has), you can hear the terror in their voices. They're asking a couple of very important rhetorical questions -- namely "so you don't have to identify yourselves?" and "is this even legal?" and "is this due process?" -- and it scares the actual living shit out of them that the answer to all three questions is "yes."
It's hitting them for the first time, right square in the face, that yes, the government actually
can bring down the hammer pretty fucking hard any time it wants to, and the previously impervious tactic of "just take out the camera and start recording lol!" doesn't do jack shit anymore.
For people accustomed to being able to scare off an angry cop just by flashing a camera, avoid accountability by yelling at police and escaping justice by demanding names and badge numbers, meeting "anonymous" (but clearly "official") law enforcement agents doing their jobs and not obliged to censor themselves or bow to the riff-raff has to be the most terrifying experience of their lives.
As an aside, my other favorite little bit of trivia that often kicks arrestees in the balls is the twist in recent years that the police don't actually have to even read you the Miranda warnings when they arrest you if they aren't asking any questions relevant to the alleged crime. You can be detained, arrested, searched, booked, processed and jailed without ever seeing a badge number, hearing a name, being handed a single piece of paper or even told your charge(s), and it's all perfectly legal. You are, in fact, entitled to know what you're being charged with, and that's formally done at your arraignment, which could be hours, days or even weeks (depending on jurisdiction) away. Not before then. So long as the government does that part, it's done nothing illegal by remaining otherwise silent apart from ordering you in and out of cars, cells, cuffs, benches, scanners, etc.
They don't even have to let you have a phone call at the jail, especially if you're being a cunt, and you can just meet with your court-appointed attorney at arraignment if you insist on being an impolite, uncooperative shithead, and he can figure out how to contact and hire your preferred attorney on your behalf instead.
Our government is just far more courteous than it has to be, and today's criminals, yuppies, and libtards have all been spoiled rotten by it. It's delightful watching that all crumble right before their eyes. The party's over, kids, the grown-ups with big-boy pants have arrived, and they've got a few decades' worth of pent up grouchiness ready to pour into the cleanup. Get under foot at your own risk.
