Photos of some of the patches are scattered throughout the article. There are also descriptions of patches not found in LEO databases.

WHEN FEDERAL IMMIGRATION agents gunned down 37-year-old Minneapolis resident Alex Pretti on Saturday, their identities were almost completely concealed. They were mostly wearing civilian clothes, and masks obscured their faces. With authorities refusing to disclose their names and records, the agents involved in the killing have so far remained anonymous.

But there is one distinguishing characteristic that could help identify the man who first opened fire: the patches on the back of his vest. One is the state flag of Texas. Another appears to read “U.S. Border Patrol.”

So The Intercept built a guide of the official shoulder patches ICE uses for unit identification, as well as known insignias worn by U.S. Customs and Border Protection or CBP personnel and unofficial patches conveying personal or political messages that federal agents have been spotted wearing. It’s a step toward transparency that immigration authorities refuses to provide to the American people on its own.

      That last pic is a fucking disgrace to the Man of Steel. Superman would be ashamed and disgusted by the actions of these assholes. He’d be stopping them, not supporting.

        A partial reason for the downfall of the KKK as a political force was because a Superman comic mocked the dopey KKK rituals, and a lot of young kids, who knew their Dad’s had white robes on the closet, started asking if they really took part in lame rituals and ceremonies, and theirnfathers seemed to realize how embarrassing they are.

        Superman would definitely make fun of these Apes.
