Except your freedom, job or life.
If you’re being apprehended by ICE, you’re almost certainly losing some of those no matter how you respond. I don’t know that you’ve got better chances if you fight back alone, but if people around you join in and try to unarrest you, you might have a shot at going home that evening.
If you're the one guy being arrested, fighting against 10 agents will only get you bruises and additional charges.
If you're one of the witnesses the chances of unarresting someone are slim and the chances of going to jail are big. I would admire anyone who's brave enough to do it but sad truth is that there are very few people like that out there.
They aren't agents unless they have a badge and a warrant. Failing to produce those means you are being assaulted by unknown assailants. Your freedom and life are already in danger at that point and you have a legal right to self defense.
