From their site:

Is this service illegal?

No. Reporting, documenting, photographing, videotaping any law enforcement officer or law enforcement activity in plainly visible public spaces is protected under the First Amendment of the US Constitution. StopICE exists in the interest of free speech, transparency and public reporting. ACLU: You Have The Right to Record Law Enforcement Officers.

I saw that but I’m just curious to hear other thoughts if there are any.

  It’s not illegal, so I think ICE terrorists are getting what they want if people are afraid to exercise their constitutional rights.

  Here’s another thought: no, it’s not illegal and any enforcement against it would give you a wonderful excuse for a cut and dry lawsuit

    They can just deport you before the court date if they feel like it

    Good luck suing the federal government. You know they need to give you permission to do so.
