They won’t come for me next because I’m not doing anything illegal. When they, or any other law enforcement agency, start arresting people who haven’t broken well established laws; then I’ll start to worry. I’m MUCH more concerned about the people in this country who are so willing to just ignore law breakers like those who so blatantly break our immigration statutes. And, mind you, that these aren’t some recently passed controversial laws, these are very old and well established laws. Defend these lawbreakers all you want, but it is YOU and your ilk who are in the wrong. Not those who put their safety on the line to enforce those laws!
The reason they have their backs turned is because they’re modern day “Brown Coats”. Defend it all you want, but these are public servants, which means they have no expectation of privacy. . If you’re that worried about the population finding problems with your actions and facing social repercussions; that’s your answer regarding right vs wrong. You’ll sing a different tune with they come for you next.
The reason they have their backs to the cameras could be for several reason. They could be undercover agents or they might be wishing to not be doxed by people who believe some in the media who portray them in a very negative light.
Can’t wait till they start in cantonment
Tired of watching so many shoplifting acts and the not knowing the rules of the road.
Illegal is illegal no mater how people try to spin it

Or it could mean that you are trying to protect yourselves and your families from the violent actions of those who have deemed themselves as “morally superior”.

I didn’t know that the FBI, DEA, or ICE wore uniforms. I have never seen an FBI uniform. Could you please show us what one looks like. I did not know that blue jeans and tennis shoes were the signified clothing of vigilantes. I guess I am dressed like a vigilante every day. Wow! Thanks for the information.
If you need to face away from the camera to hide your identity in lieu of your actions; it might mean you’re on the wrong side of morality.
For John below: They will be coming for you if you entered this country illegally. There, I fixed it for you. You are welcome.
The first guy is smiling due to the fact that even our judicial system is better than where he came from and he knows how slow our system is, so he will be well fed, clothed and virtually all his needs will be met, with no effort on his part.
The system has to be vamped to make the transaction quicker!
Wearing jeans and tennis shoes and no uniform makes this arresting posse look exactly like the vigilante group that it is. They are coming for you next, if you are on the wrong side of the government.
Who was employing people not here legally is the biggest question.
I would smile and be happy as well to get a free trip out of Atmore =)
Congrats ICE, DEA, HSI and local LEO’s. Don’t Stop!
Look at that guy smiling. He’s already planning to come back.
I’m thinking the first guy is smiling because he didn’t get the memo that he won’t be released this time.
