One of several sneaky beaky photos of Border Patrol agents from roughly 1/2 mile away.
The cow is in on it too.

Cow is double agent actually
Unironically, cows are great indicators of what’s normal in fields and pastures. They’re up over there investigating ICE because they’ve never seen them or their vehicles before.
During WWII there are stories of both sides having issues in rural France because milk cows would come up to their hiding spots, crying to be milked (going unmilked is painful for dairy cows).
Cows are super curious by nature. Milked/Unmilked probably doesn't matter.
The crying part is the difference.
They don’t really moo a lot when investigating. They will moo excessively when uncomfortable
That's really interesting. Never heard mention of this before
Isn't Border Patrol hated by everyone, including local police and real immigration officers (not ICE)
I've had plenty of encounters with border patrol and typical blues and border patrol is exponentially less professional and more coercive on average.
Yeah, if the gov and corpos are gathering intel on us, we should do the same to them and warn each other of possible threats. 😤
I KNEW cows were sketchy!
