Also now that I think about it: Trick or treaters dressed as ICE agents (or, fuck it, LEOs in general) should be refused candy.

I dunno, the tradition of Halloween is to dress as scary things so they can't recognize you or hurt you. Seems like the perfect time to dress as one of those y'all-qaeda

In this case, it is both. They're scary because of their problematicness.
