Doxxing?
They are representatives of the U.S. government. Not secret service or undercover agents...
Also aren't they proud of the service they are providing to their country? Wouldn't they want everyone to know the fine job they are doing?
Fortunately, administrative department heads do not get to create or modify the law. Not that that's goiing to stop anybody.
They do get to tell their agents how to enforce illegal "laws," and a majority of Congress will accept that.
Of related interest: recent SCOTUS mumblings about counter-agency and counter-Executive doctrines, including the Unitary Executive Theory's necessary implication of a Unitary Legislative counterpart. See https://www.scotusblog.com/2026/01/did-justice-kagan-debilit....
This administration is just a bunch of "the law is what we say it is when it is convenient for us to say it is X". The constitution and actual law doesn't apply to them as far as they are concerned.
And of course that means isn't the same law for you and me.
I wouldn't take legal advice from the executive branch.
I think you can only be sure the president will protect himself.
Some of his past allies have been put in some bad positions and it doesn’t seem Trump cares.
We know the administration claims that. We don't know it believes that.
But by repeating these things over and over, they create a chilling effect (after all they might shoot you in broad daylight) and also normalize the idea so they can then arrest people over it. Kristi Noem is using the word “doxxing” to describe recording and posting videos. And then describes doxxing as “violence”. Right wing Twitter is eating up this characterization and is asking the administration to jail people for recording. They’re priming the public to support such blatant violations of the first amendment.

Either you fight for your rights or it gets worse. Clearly Trump and ICE don't care about your freedom or rights, so you now have to decide whether you submit or resist.
Obviously they want that...ICE is busy shooting people fleeing them and assaulting unarmed people

Very much tracks that the administration would want to suppress that
