The homeowner told police the two men said they were police and claimed they were at the home to serve a warrant.

[The homeowner] became suspicious, because, you know, they have a ring camera too, and the suspects were saying they had a warrant, but it was just two people and they’re masked up and no police cars, no lights or anything like that," said Lt. Khan with HPD.

At some point, police said the men shot at the homeowner through the door, prompting the homeowner to return fire.

The homeowner was not hurt in the gunfire, but the two men were both hit and pronounced dead at the scene.

    Stringer noted that real officers do not wear ski masks.

    I dunno. Depends on the agency, these days.

    I hope the people directing ICE to mask up take notes of this. They won’t. If they do, they’ll take the wrong lesson from it.

      No, the original statement was correct. Real law enforcement does not wear ski masks. Scared Nazi cosplayers wear ski masks.

        By all accounts, ICE are real law enforcement, with the power, and authority of the state to enact the will of the ruling class on us.
