It is cowardice, but this is show of force. They are trying to make people feel helpless when this shit happens. They are also likely showcasing to white dudes how “badass” they could look working for ICE.

This shit is an absolute shame. MAGA can make whatever mental leaps they want around legality: Nazis made being Jewish a crime & punished people for it. Same shit, different time. Non-violent “offenders” being dehumanized in public is a disgrace to justice and America.
