I’m pretty sure it is. I don’t know the details of where the line is, if just putting on the jacket is technically a crime, but I know that wearing a jacket like that turns certain types of impersonation charges into a slam-dunk felony.
Just putting on the jacket, could be seen the same way as a party costume, or a movie prop.
Wearing it with the express intent of instilling fear in people, could be seen as terrorism.
Wearing it to a mall and shouting “ICE is here!” so people run in fear, would be instant impersonation and terrorism.

Yeah. I have a feeling that more and more, what’s legal is going to depend on which team you’re on.
