7. Did ICE really think that they would not get noticed in Charlottesville, given its recent history?

I would think that Charlottesville, the place where the University of Virginia is and where many of my friends went, would know a thing or two about right-wing thugs. This is the place, after all, where the Unite the Right rally occurred and white supremacists killed someone on August 11-12, 2017. I don't think people are going to forget them and not see what ICE is doing as being anything different than those who were at the Unite the Right rally. I bet you many ICE agents probably went to the Unite the Right rally.

Here is another site I found that might get some more context into the men in question:
