Yeah what did a helicopter contribute to the operation here?
Letting the piggies pretend to be badass movie heroes while brutalizing nonviolent minorities.
And some or all of the agents are currently not going to receive their next paycheck if the government stays shut down.
They are willing to do this for free.
Not for free. Government employees who are deemed essential continue to work through shutdowns and receive their back pay when the shutdown ends.
They're still jackbooted thugs but they aren't doing it for free.
They only get their back pay if congress authorizes it. While that has happened during prior shutdowns, it does not mean they are guaranteed to be paid this time.
They still count as working for free until they get their backpay.

That was true before 2019. It is no longer the case.
Like the current administration cares about the law.
True. But. Why would the current administration choose to NOT pay them...?
Because they are greedy and stupid ? Why do you still trust laws in a country run by nazis who have made it clear that the law is what they say it is at the moment ?
If robo-cops were a thing already I'd be with you, until then I don't see ICE losing their paychecks any time soon.
And I never said I trust that they follow the law, but I trust that they want ICE paid
Theatrics.
