Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.

“The consequences of Skadden's agreement with the Trump administration go beyond our own firm,” Sipp continued. “It legitimized behavior that threatens our democracy. As lawyers, we have an obligation to uphold the rule of law. This responsibility does not end when profits are threatened…”
It has also become clear to me that this firm no longer tolerates open discourse. Ahead of Friday's announcement, the firm took preemptive action to silence critics by covertly limiting our access to firmwide distribution lists. This was a clear effort to silence criticism of the firm's decision.

As lawyers, we have an obligation to uphold the rule of law. This responsibility does not end when profits are threatened by a burgeoning autocracy.
I am making this decision to leave even though I was happy here. I have made so many great friends at this firm and learned from many great mentors.
Thank you so much, I will miss you all dearly. And I am making this decision knowing that not everyone can leave as readily as I can, that many of you have families who depend on the income you earn here—I do not mean to shame you into leaving, only to explain my decision.
Skadden is on the wrong side of history. I could no longer stay knowing that someday I would have to explain why I stayed.

NEW: Another Skadden attorney has resigned in protest, citing the law firm’s decision to strike a deal with Trump. “Skadden is on the wrong side of history. I could no longer stay knowing that someday I would have to explain why I stayed,” the lawyer, Thomas Sipp, wrote in his resignation letter.
Resignation
Dear colleagues and friends,
I just spoke to many of you. Thank you for listening. I am writing to let you know that I am leaving this firm.
There was a time when my employment here was so unlikely. For much of my early childhood, I was not a good student. I struggled to focus in class and take anything (other than my friendships) seriously.
But even then, there was one subject I loved: history. I thought it was so wonderful to learn about all that came before me, about the triumphs and tragedies, about the moments of individual bravery and collective complacency. And I loved recognizing the patterns in the stories across time and space. This rhyming nature of history informed and continues to inform my deeply held belief-that self-evident truth-that all humans are created equal. And that our individual differences are the product of our times and circumstances, and that who we are is shaped by what we choose to do.
While learning about these stories, many of them avoidable tragedies, I would often imagine myself faced with the same dilemmas. What would I do if I was there? Would I do the right thing? It always felt like there was no way to know.<
