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.

...or it used to be.

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