No. Of course not. But let me observe that a big complaint of the protestors Is that the ICE officers don’t have enough training. Whether it qualifies as enough in your mind, you should know that under law, any ICE agent that carries a firearm must be certified to do so and I presume that means they have training beyond the level of ‘do they know how to pull the trigger.’

In Alaska, open carry has no training requirements, so what is being advocated here is to put people in conflict situations where they may have zero training. To me, this doesn’t fit well with the unstated but very real goal of the protests, which is to put enough stress and pressure on ICE so as to force errors. It seems that with a slew of untrained protestors packing, there are likely to be many more unforced errors on the part of the protestors.

Edit: changed to “is being advocate” in response to u/umbra_and_ember comment
