I think they are all chickenspit cowards who have been given license to act out their schoolyard bully fantasies. As such it is my plan to treat them with disdain and plan the lawsuit that I will win if they try this shit on an old man. I also believe they are paid mercenaries from Blackwater, the Proud Boys, Oath Keepers and other militias and therefore subject to arrest and prosecution for everything from assault to kidnapping. And they will be. It's only a matter of time.
I agree that at least some of them are not real federal agents. My clues are: how out of shape they are, how poorly their tactical vests fit (they’re all too short and expose vital organs), they’re using extreme excessive force on someone who likely didn’t resist. And, for heaven’s sake, why does it require 6 big men to pick up one who is unarmed and working.
Why is the media ignoring the fact that the masks, lack of official uniforms or any required identification is an invitation for any rapist or kidnapper or robber? What is to stop a gang from dressing like that and entering businesses or banks to rob them? The media might not be thinking about that very real possibility but clearly the criminals already are:
“Multiple ICE impersonation arrests made during nationwide immigration crackdown”
I wonder if states like Florida will still allow their citizens who feel like their lives are being threatened by masked strangers to shoot them like George ZImmerman shot and killed the seventeen year old, unarmed Trayvon Martin.

Violent bullies always travel in packs
Not always. Remember George Zimmerman?
And Killer Kyle. But times have changed. They would not be outliers.
Great piece, Paul.
Bounty hunters. It explains everything.
Shame on these men. They are not patriots. They demean the United States with their cruelty and cowardice.
Never. Stop. Punching. Nazis.

What jumped out to me from the picture of Barranco being pummeled is his weed whacker in the foreground.
