Contributing sentiments towards policy:
64% : " Immigration and Customs Enforcement Like its cousin CBP, ICE started as part of the new Department of Homeland Security in 2003.61% : The Coast Guard said it was preparing to support CBP agents at the Coast Guard base in Alameda, California.
60% : On a backpack, another agent is identified as being with "SRT," the ICE Special Response Team, with SWAT-style training.
58% : " Like many law enforcement agencies since 9/11, the CBP has substantially beefed up its equipment with military-style weaponry and aircraft, including a fleet of Black Hawk helicopters and Predator drones.
57% : The sizeable agency has more than 60,000 employees, including about 20,000 Border Patrol agents, all tasked with one mission: "Protect the American people, safeguard our borders, and enhance the nation's economic prosperity.
55% : Under CBP policy, Chicago is as much of a border town as El Paso, Texas. "Border enforcement does need to be as modern as possible and as updated as possible in terms of technology," Meissner said.
54% : " How it's going Two decades later, the Border Patrol division of CBP has taken on an increasingly significant role in high-profile immigration actions under Trump, with sector chief Gregory Bovino emerging as the on-the-ground face of "Operation Midway Blitz."
53% : Another uniform appears to say BORTAC, the Border Patrol's own tactical unit.
52% : How it's going Since the start of his second term, Trump made clear that ICE - including HSI - has a singular focus under his administration.
51% : ICE and US Customs and Border Protection agents are trained "to use the minimum amount of force necessary to resolve dangerous situations to prioritize the safety of the public and themselves," DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement.
51% : US Coast Guard The Coast Guard was created in 1915 after a merger of agencies that focused on maritime tax evasion and emergency response on the high seas.
49% : But in addition to having a catchier name, ICE had a different mission - focus on the nation's interior to catch and deport undocumented immigrants, along with investigating "narcotics smuggling, human trafficking, gang violence, money laundering and other financial crimes," the agency's website says.
48% : "The civil immigration enforcement side of the ICE mission is not what HSI does," Katrina Berger, then-executive associate director of HSI, told ABC News last year, a few months before retiring.
48% : Video of the incident shows the ICE agents wearing camo uniforms marked with "POLICE."
46% : Jason Houser, a former DHS official, said the current administration is putting Border Patrol agents in security and crowd control situations they're not equipped to handle.
46% : "When you're at ICE and you're at DHS, the first and highest priority is the safety of the workforce, and you have to do what's necessary to protect them, but I think there's no doubt it's gone past what any reasonable policy would allow, and it really has to be a situation where it's the exception, not the rule," he said.
45% : The CBP can legally conduct warrantless searches of vehicles and property believed to be involved in immigration violations anywhere within 100 miles of the US border or coastline.
45% : "These are ICE agents who are wearing masks.
44% : " "The way that they're carrying on without any visible identification - even that they're law enforcement, much less what agency they're with - it really is pretty unprecedented to see at this scale, and I think it's very dangerous," said Scott Shuchart, a senior ICE official during the Biden administration.
42% : None of the uniforms seen in the video specifically said ICE.
41% : Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons has said federal officers are covering up to protect their families after some have been publicly identified and then harassed online, along with relatives.
41% : John Sandweg, an acting director of ICE under President Barack Obama and a former acting general counsel of the Department of Homeland Security, has been on dozens of ride-alongs during his tenure and said he never saw anyone wear a mask.
40% : " Illinois state Rep. Hoan Huynh says he got firsthand experience after accusing an ICE agent of pointing a gun at him when he was following an ICE vehicle.
39% : But Bovino, who has said agents have acted proportionally and in response to attacks from demonstrators, expressed ambivalence about protesters being injured - also a direct violation of CBP's use of force policy.
39% : "If they're not there in Michigan, does that mean those smuggling lines are open that day, but they were out going up and down (the Chicago River) like it was St. Patrick's Day?" CBP has not said if the Border Patrol assets used on the Chicago River impacted operations along the Canadian border and did not immediately respond to CNN's request for comment.
37% : "These officers are not accustomed to policing urban civil unrest; nor are they trained to do so," former CBP Commissioner Gil Kerlikowske testified in a lawsuit filed by journalists.
37% : " The agency has also faced criticism for aggressive tactics used by ICE agents in executing the president's immigration policy.
37% : DHS officials say the masks are necessary to deal with increasing threats against ICE agents, including violence from protesters and doxxing.
35% : " In Chicago, the indelible image of a pastor in a clerical collar shot in the head with a pepper ball by agents standing on the rooftop of an ICE building is a direct violation of CBP's use of force policy.
27% : The Trump administration recently attempted to deploy hundreds of National Guard troops to protect ICE facilities that have been targeted by demonstrators in Chicago and Portland, comparing the cities to a war zone and saying there is either "a rebellion or danger of a rebellion" there.
26% : "HSI, within ICE, has always been focused on human smuggling, sex trafficking, cybercrimes, Deep Web threats to children," said Houser, who served as the ICE chief of staff during the Biden administration.
