Swalwell: "The masks has to come off. These guys, the don't just wear these masks for their own anonymity. They wear it for moral cover. They hide their identities from us and their humanity from themselves. So their masks have to come off. Period."

Nothing could be more obvious than the reason they wear masks is because many of them were part of the January 6 insurrection were convicted sent to prison and then pardoned by Trump. There's no other logical explanation.

While I'm sure there ARE insurrectionists in ice, another good reason to keep their faces covered is so that people don't know who is murdering citizens on the street. That tracks for me as well.

There’s a reason bank robbers wear masks…anonymity for their crime. You’re not afraid when no one knows who you are and you can’t be prosecuted. These two agents who killed American citizens should have their names released and their badges confiscated.

This is one of his talking points as he's running for Governor. Still a valid point and needs to be said, along with action to make it happen. Action is the word we're all looking for w/Democrats. Please, do something real - not politically motivated.

💯 The Framers intended Congress to actively restrain, defund, investigate, arrest, and remove an executive that governs without lawful authority — not to wait for courts or elections to fix it.

Also wear them because they likely have some combination of the following that would preclude them from any other law enforcement work: -Belong to a white supremacist group -Rioted on J6 -Criminal record

Shame he didn't bother to show up to vote NO on ICE funding last week! He did however vote for the MAGA resolution which "expressed gratitude to U.S. ICE personnel, for protecting the homeland." From 9/19/25 to 1/21/26 Swalwell missed 97 of 119 roll call votes! www.govtrack.us/congress/mem...

They also wear the masks to intimidate the American people Years ago when ICE was created , no masks, no combat gear, nor highly armed goons More like the FBI quiet and worked with the local officials miller and dtrumpf changed ICE, DHS, and CBP into paramilitary forces for their own bidding

Masks have to come off? The whole damned campaign needs t/b scrubbed! T/h/b at least 28 shootings by immigration agents since 1/20/25, resulting in 8 deaths. (Wiki) Hope death of Nat'l Guard Sarah Beckstrom in D.C. is a "related" count. Trump just h/t/h The Guard around (picking up park trash).

And uniforms. The military standard is to have name and rank. None of these thugs display any identification. (not to mention lack of masks). There appears to be little standardization. Just a pack of goons.

They also need to identify themselves and show their badges. Their cars should be identified as official vehicles. How do we know if they are actually ICE/Border Patrol/Police? How do know people aren’t being kidnapped by sex traffickers or militia members or whatever?

Abolish ICE. The department is lawless. Immigrants held in cages are dying, raped, starved and tortured. They're using children as bait and sending many off to countries that are foreign to them. Let's not forget that they're also ignoring court orders! And now they are murdering American citizens!

It's crazy how bad this guy is at messaging against armed thugs in masks. It should be so easy and yet his rhetoric is wishy-washy and poorly formed. Abolish ICE.

"they don't just wear masks for anonymity" Brother, why the fuck would we want them wearing them for anonymity anyway? Jesus Christ.

It is not just the masks, but the shades as well. They feel they are above the law and accountability for their actions. I see no body cams, no name tags, they are dressed as though they were going into battle in a foreign country. They ARE at war with America.

This is exactly the kind of bullshit Reformist reform that led the general public to realize the Democrats are feckless and need to be thrown out of office to get real leaders in place with meaningfully progressive values

Very good! You cannot hide your face and switch off your brain at the same time. Brave people face the consequences of their actions

General Mark H made the observation I had not considered. Masked men are not accountable to their command in addition to being unaccountable to the population. To those in command this is a feature. We do need a boarder security organization that is professional and accountable.

Sadly, it won’t make them more human. That boat has sailed. They have sold their souls to their inner lies and they are lost forever.

The masks are coming off, replaced with caps and sunglasses, and camo is now jeans. They are infiltrating, now. Or, their uniforms came back from the cleaners tie-dyed, shrunken, and starchy. Hmm.

I don't remember asking the president to get rid of anyone. I remember voting for (well first off not for him) a better economy, better worker regulations, more taxes on the rich, more unions, a better education system, something to be done about climate change, and things that would PREVENT crime

They are masked because they are afraid of US. They are afraid this will follow them all their lives. And they are correct. The mask does not hide the employment records. The Nazis were tracked down all over the world after WWII.

All of those masked thugs have relatives and, maybe, friends. I can't believe that all of them are on board with what they are doing. Is Mom proud of her son? Is Grandma and Grandpa? Are their kids, if they have any? How about their boss? I'm guessing there would be a lot of jobs lost if identified.

Republicans celebrate murder and defile the dead. An ICU nurse is murdered and they don’t mourn. They cheer. They lie. They tear at his corpse because, decency threatens them. Only the worst of humanity stays with a party like this. A party that feeds on blood, smears, and darkness.

Only 47 days training, no age limit.🤷 ICE have OPEN BOOK TESTS, THAT most still fail. ICE are proud boys. RWNJ hired as MAGA, are attacking women first. Typical Trump low IQs.

Guardrails masquerading as action & "reform". Abolish ICE. Also, now that we know both murderers were veteran CBP, accept that they are corrupt as fuck. Reorganize, reassign. The guys who make sure the wrong kumquat doesn't get imported shouldn't be in charge of migration or human trafficking.

The important lessons these criminals learned on January 6, 2021 is to hide their faces. If they can't be identified, they can't be arrested and tried. And if by some miracle a few are ID'd, the masks will likely provide reasonable doubt.

they do, 💯 These are fired cops, Proud Boys, convicted and violent J6ers, domestic abusers, and worse THATS WHY IN THIS DAY AND AGE THEY WEAR MASKS if they didn’t, the whole thing would break down in a heartbeat

No, that won't solve the problem! These are lethal mercenary thugs, killers sanctioned by the FELON & his regime. People are DYING. Human beings, not video game characters! The EXECUTIONS MUST END. First & foremost it means abolishing ICE & DHS and all involved. Period.

ICE with or without masks, now has members like the Proud Boys and other Jan 6 insurrectionists. It recruited thousands who decided morality wasn’t worth as much as money. You can unmask them, remove Noem and Bovino but the rot below them remains the same.

Very simple: Name and badge number externally visible or it is not a legitimate police action. Arrest is kidnapping, any physical contact is assault. Lethal force in self defense against assault and kidnapping is fully legitimate. Masks can be worn for health reasons (and should be).

We pay their Salary so how can we not see their Faces? Release their Employee information....I want to know who "works for me"? So I can let them know how I feel about their Job performance.

Prosecute, imprison, abolish all bad actors across the board. Kill Patriot Act and DHS. Kill Citizens United. Tax billionaires out of existence and qualify them as WMDs. They are just as dangerous as nuclear weapons. They can destabilize nations with a keyboard and a wire transfer.
