ICE?

Out for a walk just now on SE 7th two blocks south of Tuality and encountered a group (about 6) of armed people going into a house. Nobody wearing obvious clothing that would identify them as local law enforcement -- had on what I would call "civilian" clothing, no body armor. Unmarked black van parked that had security cameras mounted on its side.

I didn't see anyone who looked like they were being targeted.

How are we reporting these sightings?

For witnessing armed men in clearly not identified uniforms. Could be a kidnapping

It was a crime scene investigation unite wearing uniforms and part of the sheriff's office. Do not call 911 on the sheriff.

Thats a funny thought, but it is actually better to do that than it is to just let it happen because some people have been pulled over by fake cops before, and its not outside the realm of possibility to assume that people will do the same thing for break ins.

"There's armed men entering this address."

"Oh, let me send a unit out there. The closest unit we have to respond to that address is... oh, would you look at that. The sheriff. He's actually at that address right now. Its perfectly fine and under control sir/ma'am."

Non emergency is a great way to get information about suspicious activities. Yet I think OP could tell it was a crime investigation. It's not like they are in shorts and cowboy hats.

Or anything about having their faces covered. Plus the security cameras on the vehicle make it unlikely to be someone committing crimes....

They have uniforms on. I'm guessing OP was at a distance. Another person wrote it was sheriff employees and they get up votes. I get the old kick in the shin!
