Think it through. What are the headlines? How does the court case play out?

By just asking questions, I'm making a point, as are all people just asking questions

This is bad for ICE either way. My spin makes it worse.

ICE shooting people will make "orderly" people nervous, ICE impostors shooting people will make them freak out

In a court case, discovery would include records of who was where - ICE would have to unmask the shooter or admit there's impostors running around. Both of these things would be very bad for ICE

What's worse, that ICE employed a known far right extremist who shot someone, or that the ICE agents running around might not even be ICE?

Both. The belief that both of those things are true is the message, and ICE can clear it up by picking their poison, which will add a new wave of fuel to the fire
