Could, but very unlikely they actually will.
Not many cops are going to go around arresting ICE agents for such things I don’t imagine.
Cops are explicitly motivated to keep other cops out of jail simply because it could happen to them too.
This is likely part of why they prioritize hiding their faces and other identifying information. Watch them struggling to arrest someone and they will let go of someone just to pull their masks back up. They are breaking a lot of laws, but if a court can’t identify them, they can’t be charged. Secret police above the law are a key part of a dictatorship.
I doubt any police are going to risk arresting them in the field anyway. Even if they could make the arrest without it dangerously escalating, Pam Bondi would gleefully call it treason or insurrection, and bring in an army.
They can’t breathe with those masks. They would be so happy if we removed them for them.
You would probably get beaten or tortured, and then charged with assaulting a federal officer. That’s one to 20 years in federal prison.
Also threats against law enforcement, such as making terroristic threats or harassment, especially if it endangers the agent or their family. Potentialy harassment, conspiracy if someone identifies the officer, and obstruction of justice.
Basically dictatorship consequences.
You Americans always default to face down ass up whenever there is the slightest danger.
You can only arrest people that want to be arrested.
