The directive is part of a sweeping, nationwide effort by U.S. immigration authorities to identify anyone and everyone trying to film their conduct, including not just ICE but other agencies like Border Patrol as well. The ultimate goal is to create a watchlist of anti-ICE protestors, which the Trump administration believes are part of an organized network of domestic terrorists.
It's important to note at this point that the Trump administration has issued a "National Security Presidential Memorandum" called "NSPM-7" which was written to allow his administration to target pretty much anyone who disagrees with Trump/anyone who organizes to protect their neighborhoods against the currently unconstitutional policies and label them "potential domestic terrorists." This extends not just to people trying to hold ICE accountable for kidnapping and intimidation, but anyone holding what the Trump administration holds "anti-Christian" or "anti-American" views.
The Trump administration isn’t only targeting organizations or groups but even individuals and “entities” whom NSPM-7 says can be identified by any of the following “indicia” (indicators) of violence:
support for the overthrow of the United States Government,
hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on family,
hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on religion, and
hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on morality.
The insanely broad language of this Presidential Memorandum (how are we defining 'traditional views??' How are we defining 'Hostility??') basically says "I can target and black-bag anyone who disagrees with me." And it also targets perfectly legal funding networks for leftist activism like bail funds and mutual aid. And now it's being used to target and intimidate anyone recording ICE activity by declaring such activity as a "potential indicator for radical leftist terrorism."
