2nd amendment doesn't protect against this nonsense so its safe.

Like a SS card, birth certificate or drivers license? Don’t regular cops ask for IDs all the time?

Yes. When they've witnessed you commit a crime.

What perception is that? That they’re violent?

If the illegals don’t run or resist arrest, there’s absolutely no violence.

If protesters leave ICE alone, there’s absolutely no violence.

Is it not a crime to be in this country illegally?

They may and may be ignored without fear of reprisal. Now if I operate a motor vehicle, I have relinquished some the protections and can be compelled to demonstrate through the showing of a Driver's License that I am permitted to operate the vehicle on the public roadway. Cop can't stop me from driving on a private road, can't stop me from walking on the sidwalk, can't come to my house and demand I identify myself.

You're not arguing in good faith, or you're horribly ignorant of the Constitutional protections afforded to you and I (should you be an actual US citizen).

How would they know if you're in the country illegally if they don't know who you are?

but dragging someone forcefully from the vehicle to issue the citation would be.
Citizens get dragged out of their cars numerous times a day around the country during routine traffic stops when they fail to comply.

You wanna see a couple dozen videos of your people getting dragged out of a car for not showing their drivers license?

Comply with the lawful orders of law enforcement, and you won’t get your window broken and your arse dragged out of a car, be it citizens or illegals.

Or suspicion of having committed a crime. So, for instance, if a criminal alien is arrested in my home the cops have the right to ask for my ID. If I refuse or happen to be in the country illegally, I’m going to be detained.

And how would you be suspicious of someone's legal status if you have no clue who they are? You're probably not going to like where this leads.

Legally exercising your 2nd amendment rights isn't criminal though

This group called the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense has shown up to anti ICE protests

Videos have been shown of these people saying they'll smoke ICE agents if they're attacked.

This shows how little you know about Conservatives and firearms, conveniently encapsulated in a single thread.

For one, if these idiots are lawfully bearing arms, that's fine. They also have their freedom of speech just like anyone else and, also just like anyone else, they're not immune to whatever consequences they may bring upon themselves in the process of exercising their rights and tip-toeing the line between legal and illegal.

But also, I've seen these videos. They're carrying a few. 556 AR rifles with no ammo in the mags. One of them had an AR-style .22LR rifle with the mag only half loaded. They have poor trigger discipline and clearly lack any training. They're more dangerous to themselves than anyone else. And look at their gear. L.O.L. Just wow. Tactical black plate carriers they got for $8 off of Temu and didn't bother to throw some level 4's in there.

If they started shite, any deer hunter could take the whole lot of them down easily with a bolt rifle and a decent optic if it was necessary. Study things before you assume to have a "gotcha".

Will MAGA turn their back on the 2nd amendment?

Most on this board are "America-First" as opposed to "MAGA". But I'll speak for MAGA since the stance on the Second Amendment is one place that the MAGA and America-First paths have not bifurcated.

No. We love the Second Amendment. These people, if they are legally allowed to own and possess these firearms, have every right to do so. I would avoid them at all costs though, because I've seen their "safety" protocols and would fear accidental discharge. Stay beyond 500 yards and you'll be fine.

How would they have done that? Are they going to illegally interfere with law enforcement operations?

One way is by them being found with someone who is known to LEOs as someone who is being sought.
So, if in the process of detaining the person they’re looking for. They may find out the people who are with them at the time of contact are also here illegally.
You make it sound like they are stopping randos and demanding “papers”. With all the protest footage I’ve not seen one ICE officer demand everyone line up and show them ID. If you have that footage, please share.
