ICE needs to be "marked".

They wear those masks so they can mix back in with society with impunity. If people knew that they were ICE agents their general reception would not be very pleasant.
A bright, indelible “paint” should be sprayed onto their skin. That would probably be their hands or whatever.
The delivery system would have to be small.
Yes, it would be dangerous but everything is at this point.No, it will not be easy. I wish I was smart enough to think this through to the delivery system. Some effective way to mark them would be invaluable IMHO.

In practice, I'm fine disbanding Ice, but keeping their names, and denying any federal contracts the them or any company who hires them.

However, in lieu of that right now, leaving a permanent, visible mark might slow them down some.

Though hopefully Democrats will stand strong this time and we can get that done.

If that will happen, then my idea is moot.
However, that change is not certain.
Do you have a better idea if those changes do not go into efffect.
Their anonymity is crucial to them.
