> sidewalk, not obstructing traffic, and shouting?

Are these the people supposedly getting added to the database? We have no evidence of who's actually being added, just that people supposedly are.

>Which law is broken by telling people that masked, armed thugs (maybe ICE, maybe not, impossible to tell) are assaulting people in the area?

I don't think any law here is broken.

>Which law is broken by recording and reporting on those masked, armed thugs who are assaulting and killing lawful protestors and other innocent civilians?

Like them or not, reporting federal police activities to the people they are investigating is in fact disrupting a federal investigation.

>Which local, city, or state official deputized Federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement to be legal Law Enforcers of local, city, or state traffic laws?

This one's gonna vary a lot based on your location, but generally the 287(g) program that most states signed up for does.



> Are these the people supposedly getting added to the database?

Yes, see the article. There would need to be evidence to the contrary to say otherwise.

> We have no evidence of who's actually being added

That is the nature of a secret enemies list. Keeping it secret is itself malicious, but the directive orders the addition of "agitators, protestors, etc.", making it clear that non-"agitating" protestors are included.

> Like them or not, reporting federal police activities to the people they are investigating is in fact disrupting a federal investigation.

I didn't see any law you cited which says that recording and reporting on those masked, armed thugs who are assaulting and killing lawful protestors and other innocent civilians is illegal. That's why I asked.

> This one's gonna vary a lot based on your location, but generally the 287(g) program that most states signed up for does.

287(g) does no such thing. As for location: Let's use Minneapolis as an example here, so you can be more specific.
