As I understand it, the black Panthers were so successful, laws were passed to stop them; why don't people LEGALLY walk in groups open carrying to keep ICE polite?

In states that allow open carry without a permit, do so; in ones that require a permit or license, get one; of course again, keep everything within the bounds of the law.

Edit: also travel in groups, the larger the better

They are part of normal police. It stands for Special Weapons And Tactics. They are more heavily armed and armored compared to regular cops. They have armored vehicles, better training, and more stringent fitness requirements. The only time I saw a SWAT raid up close they closed down my street and had two snipers because a man robbed a nearby gas station convenience store with a shotgun. They killed him.
