They were wearing uniforms, I watched the video. Badges were not clearly visible in the video, but they certainly had uniforms.

Oh look, the NYT got a picture to spin their yarn! Maybe watch the NYTs own video clip just below it?
Anyone can literally just buy/make a uniform. Especially concerning if badges aren't visible. This argument doesn't hold much water imo.
Perhaps, but the comment I was replying to was claiming "not wearing uniforms" which isn't what was going on. I have no idea if badges were displayed at any point, but this was a federal courthouse, one would hope that they would be asking for identification. It should also be noted that according to the article, NYPD was present at the time.
I don't think, given the facts I currently have, that claiming he didn't know they were real ICE agents is going to hold much water.

Two NYPD officers were present, Landers' security detail. They weren't there to effect or assist with the arrest.

No-one in the banner image of this article has a uniform? Is it too much to ask to be uniformed while acting in this capacity? There doesn't seem to be a need for subterfuge, they just don't want the bad optics.
