Law isn't really a thing here anymore.
I've heard judges, when they think they're getting the runaround from government departments over here (including the Home Office and the Ministry of Justice) tell the prosecution that, if their orders aren't complied with, the relevant government minister will risk being found in contempt of court and will be required to explain themselves in person at the next hearing.

That usually gets the desired result.

Seems the judge is having none of it

Just use white instead of yellow and a different shade of green, put it on a bag, keychain etc.
If you turn a Mexican flag sideways you get a Hungarian flag, the colors are exactly the same. I have a smidgen of Hungarian DNA so I considered using that as a fun excuse for having some Mexican flag colors around just in case anyone tries to give me lip, but the only hitch with that is that Hungary is a freaking awful fascistic place right now and I don't want people accidentally thinking I'm sympathetic to that.

Just pretend you're Mexican or combine it with this eagle:

Finally, someone is trying to use AI for a helpful purpose.

AI is unmasking ICE officers. Can Washington do anything about it?
An activist has started using artificial intelligence to identify Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents beneath their masks — a use of the technology sparking new political concerns over AI-powered surveillance.

Dominick Skinner, a Netherlands-based immigration activist, estimates he and a group of volunteers have publicly identified at least 20 ICE officials recorded wearing masks during arrests. He told POLITICO his experts are “able to reveal a face using AI, if they have 35 percent or more of the face visible.”

I am looking forward to federal investigations of ICE by the next Democratic government, assuming they ever take power again. Especially since many of those facing investigation aren't even worried about leaving a massive trail of evidence.

The Guardian: From Uncle Sam to social media memes: inside homeland security’s push to swell Ice ranks

The pinned post on the X account of the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is an image of Uncle Sam with the caption “We Need You.”

“America has been invaded by criminals and predators,” the post reads. “We need YOU to get them out.”

DHS posts on Instagram are similar. One pinned post features a highly produced video that starts with a family walking in a field and urges viewers to “defend” their “homeland”. Another displays an image of a younger and older man in military garb, designed to look like a first world war-era army recruitment poster. Under it, in big bold capital letters: “NO AGE CAP JOIN ICE NOW”. The caption: “We’re taking father/son bonding to a whole new level.”

Under UK law, unless we were formally at war with Venezuela or operating under the authority of the UN or the troops were acting in legitimate self-defence, it would be murder.
I would have thought that it would be called an act of war with a declaration of war to follow immediately after that proper identification.

That's how the Venezuelans might treat it but, pace James Bond and his license to kill, English law would regard it as murder, which is the unlawful killing of any human person (so not in self defence and not a fetus) anywhere in the world who is under the king's peace (common law concept meaning not during wartime).
