    NBC 7 San Diego:

    CBS 8 San Diego:

    This video has a few interesting snippets… an actual detonation of a flash bang, more shots of more guys with more gear…

    I can make out one with a paintball gun, these are also commonly used for crowd control with ‘pepper’ rounds…

    yellow ‘POLICE’ and ‘DETENTION OFFICER’ on some guys… could be ICE, could be local PD, Sheriffs, not sure…

    There do seem to be two different kinds of dress.

    The guys with ‘POLICE’ and such are less geared up… they have what may be a general DHS shoulder patch… then you’ve got all the guys in tac helmets and tac vests, they’ve all got the same mystery (fascii?) patch, in different color schemes, same pattern though, all with E ## as well.

    Ah ok, near the end, the ‘POLICE’ guys can be seen from the front, POLICE HSI.

    That’d make them these guys:

      We shield our nation from global threats…

      Uh, huh. A guy named Santiago working in a kitchen is #1 threat. Maybe he’s not actually chopping vegetables. He could be involved in drug and weapons smuggling, cyber and financial crime, illegal technology exports and intellectual property crime.

      HSI conducts federal criminal investigations into the illegal movement of people, goods, money, contraband, weapons and sensitive technology into, out of and through the United States. HSI’s investigations are wide ranging – our cases include drug and weapons smuggling, cyber and financial crime, illegal technology exports and intellectual property crime. We also play a crucial role in investigating crimes of exploitation. This includes combating child exploitation, human trafficking, financial fraud and scams and other crimes against vulnerable populations.

      Also - their fucking chutzpah - “crimes against vulnerable populations.”
