    Problem is the headline isn’t referring to the agencies or the officers.

    They are referring to the illegal actions they are performing as “law enforcement actions”

      Yeah, I really don’t think it’s anything nefarious from this outlet because they’re actually pretty great with a lot of their headlines, but the general practice throughout journalism and punditry and politics of calling police agencies “law enforcement” and just flatly referring to stuff they do as “law enforcement actions” without interrogating the fact that their “law enforcement actions” are actually breaking the law is a problem
