Most of the federal agents arresting people perform fundamentally public-facing activities ostensibly in service of the public. Compared to the average person (or if you'd prefer, to the average non-government-employee), such federal agents should have very little expectation of privacy when they are on the job.
Is there some gain from posting so overt of a false dichotomy (especially to downplay knowing and malicious hypocrisy by a government actor)? You might as well have said the "Moops" invaded Spain in 711.
There are reasonable alternatives that aren't letting the government illegally post identities of innocent-until-proven-guilty arrested people on social media for political points ("for it is their adversary who is obliged to use" laws "responsibly, since he believes in" laws) and preventing the government from providing any information about arrested people. Wouldn't you believe it, (with exceptions such as national security, I presume) the government has documentation requirements whenever it detains or arrests people, and must disclose some of that documentation in relation to FOIA requests. When the government doesn't follow those requirements, the government is disappearing people.

So, the government should "disappear" people without publicizing it? That's so much worse.
