I think it would be good for the community and people in the US to have ways to make sure they’re not creating relationships with ICE agents. If the community doesn’t want it all good. and obviously not meant to profile people.

Obviously we know some names of agents who have murdered people: Jonathan Ross, Brian Palacios, Jesus Ochoa, Raymundo Gutierrez
I presume they’d be pretty conservative and machismo. Maybe have some blue lives stickers on their truck.
Maybe tattoos, specifically Punisher. Could be police also.

What else could you use to sniff out if somebody is ICE if they’re hiding it from you?

Lots of good advice here. Just trying to get a feel for how people could avoid being tricked by an ICE agent.

Again, that angle is largely you seeking solutions to a problem that doesn't exist; ICE agents aren't trying to trick people in order to date/befriend them.

As I said, they don't want anything to do with people who hate them.

That’s good. I could see them being desperate for affection though and lying to get what they want.
