ICE has approx. 26 SAC —Special Agent in Charge Offices (Field Offices) in the US. Most have SRTs-Special Response Teams.
However, article States Agents were wearing “jackets.” This implies a non-SRT raid. The jacket covers the agents body armor but neither imply “SWAT” or SRT.
The media oft times applies the word SWAT to all such raids, erroneously. Very confusing to the citizenry/readers.
FBI-HRT-Hostage Rescue Team. US Marshal Service-SOG-Special Operations Group. Missouri Highway Patrol-SWAT. Some local PDs-CRT-Crisis Action Team.
Merely pointing out the confusion that can and does occur among the populace. This needs to be rectified.
Most everyone knows what it means when someone yells FBI! Or wears a jacket with FBI on it. But what the hell does ICE! mean to the common folk? New term to most. Yell ICE! down here in the Ozarks and most people would direct you to the nearest convenience store.
I think they identify themselves as 'Federal Agents.'
