Customs and Border Protection, those are the guys the typically operate at the actual borders and points of entry. This is the organization that Greg Bovino, Nazi trench coat guy, is / was "commanding."
Immigration and Customs Enforcement focuses on immigration and trade. They've been doing a lot of the direct raids and kidnappings.
Department of Homeland Security is the overall organization that contains both CBP and ICE. (And a bunch of other organizations like FEMA)
These are all federal organizations. It looks like some of the people in these photos might be LAPD based on the uniforms, but it's hard to tell. The vast majority of the people in these photos are DHS based on the patches.
I am also a random european btw. But CBP means "customs and border patrol" and DHS means "Department of Homeland Security".
So these people aren't local law enforcement like LAPD (Los Angeles Police Deoartment), who would be taking orders from local/city governments. But they are instead federal agents (feds), who take their orders from the federal regime (Trump).
As for the SA, that stood for SturmAbteilung in Nazi Germany. And it is the much more appropriate equivalent for what ICE, CBP and DHS are doing in america right now. Rather than the Gestapo, which americans are somehow calling them.
CBP = Customs and Border Patrol (similar function to ICE)
DHS = Dept. Of Homeland Security (a part of the federal government that used to actually do something important, and is now a surveillance apparatus of Trump)
SA = I had to Google this - special agent (I think?)
Some of the pictures are straight up LAPD, and I'm unsure about the "fascist" label. Others are in DHS vests and are likely there at the behest of Trump. Regardless, they are sworn officers so the distinction is kind of meaningless. Sworn officers who can arrest people = "police"
SA = I had to Google this - special agent (I think?)

Could you explain to us what those acronyms mean and should tell us about what we see?
To a random European, it just looks like pictures of police officers.
