How about the ones human trafficking? They don't reveal who they are. Refuse to identify themselves. Don't carry badges. Yet allowed to snatch people from their homes or work. People are not read their Miranda Rights. Not given phone calls while detained. They are human traffickers.

The alleged "federal criticism" came from an unidentified tweeter from Homeland Security and refers specifically to the masking of ICE personnel. Clearly the feds are now the "masked bandits" of the nation.

This should be the law in all 50 states — especially now that they’re impersonating police officers. If some masked guy with no badge shows up at my door, it’s game over (yes, this liberal has guns).

Unless there's a medical or safety issue, I can't see a reason for them to cover their faces. And if there is a medical or health issue, they should use the appropriate masks, not whatever bandana they think looks scariest today.

And the usual suspects (fascists) will scream "YOU HATE THE POLICE!!!" No, we want the police to obey the law and be Law Enforcement, not thugs with badges. If you can't do that, we don't want you to be a cop. If you view that as anti-cop, then you should never be one in the first place.

Can't believe it's currently allowed throughout USA. Every Minnisotta style murderer will dress up as ICE etc and put masks on to abduct people off the street with impunity.

I would like to see what % of the ICE ranks are filled with those - kicked out of the military or police - convicted for participation in J6 - are/were in a white nationalist militia Or any combo of the above. Whatever has driven them to be OK with what they’re doing must be quite dark.

Imagine getting all decked out like you're readying for the Battle of Fallujah all to arrest 3 dishwashers. They look ridiculous. They're trying to reinforce the idea that they're picking up violent criminals with this get-up but it's not working. They're the Kosplay Kommando Korps.

While not covering the faces of the poor arrested who are 'SUSPECTS' THAT ARE NOT PROVEN TO BE UNDOCUMENTED most of the times, labeling them as 'undocumented' in that way, covering the faces of the arresters MAKES NO SENSE AT ALL&it gives them the advantage of denial when sued with 'FALSE ARRESTS!!'

It is against the law in CA for citizens to mask their faces to avoid being identified by police, it should be illegal for law enforcement to mask their faces to avoid being identified by citizens.

At this rate they better identify themselves every time if they don't want to be mistaken for domestic terrorist assassins or kidnappers. Someone claiming to be police could be anyone. Of course the ICE gestapo are actually kidnappers but that's another issue.

That black & white scraf around this soldier/officer's neck is a KEFFIYEH, a middleastern wrap made of cotton. So, are the men who wear these veterans of the Iraq/Afghanistan war & brought the scarf home as a souvenier? or, are they muslim? or do they live in the desert? Just curious.

There are undercover police, who can cover their face during court proceedings to protect their identity right? But there are too many masked ICE, not possible they're all 'undercover' agents. And arrests are on public streets, there is no constitutional right to privacy if you're in public areas.

“I’m sorry if people are offended by them wearing masks, but I’m not going to let my officers and agents go out there and put their lives on the line, their family on the line because people don’t like what immigration enforcement is." They're arresting soccer moms.

Can anyone explain why these people are prancing about in military uniforms with woodland camo pattern on them? These uniforms are designed for use on the battlefield. In an urban setting they just make the wearer stand out like a spare prick at a wedding!

Woodland cam is designed for the battlefield not for an urban environment. Or is the ICE dress code set by Kristi Noem’s hunting wardrobe?

If thugs with civilian vehicles, no uniforms & no IDs try taking people, treat these like kidnappings, because that's what they are. Law enforcement has always advised kidnapping victims/helpers to fight the fight RIGHT THERE, because once these people have been taken, they could be lost for good.

The 'face scarf' is an ethnic attire from the Middle East. The US and Western militaries have adopted them because the keep you cool and keep the Sun off. The zionists traditionally try to outlaw anything Palestinian as antisemitic, even a scarf.

Nah, it should be a 100% de facto, at the moment they don the mask, outlawing. They are no longer a part of society when they mask up and they have no right to access society when they're masked. If they try to enter or affect society when masked, they should be treated as the armed gunmen they r.

I think the effing federal government stands for fascist. So why would we care what they think? I’m sure Trump will just pardon them anyway. Because that’s what he is.

"Some of those that work forces, are the same that burn crosses"... "Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me! Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me! Motherfucker! Uggh!" "Killing In The Name" - "Rage Against The Machine" off the album "Rage Against The Machine" 1992

This should not be a misdemeanor, they are abducting ppl and they are kidnappers with no warrants, orders and no ID! How do you know they are conducting official business, many are imposters that buy ICE wear and gear? They could be human traffickers!

I was just reading this morning, The Blade Itself by Joe Abercrombie, just a regular fantasy novel, and it has this line, "A man doesn't put on a mask unless he's got some dark work in mind." It stood out to me, given recent events...

Not just cover their faces ... but they should wear name and serial number badges like every other law enforcement officer must ... perhaps that should be a second added misdemeanor charge ... and when there is a combination of two misdemeanors it becomes a jail-able criminal offense!!

They're probably not federal agents covering their faces. It's probably employees of private security firms acting as mercenaries to collect per capita bounties on whatever migrant workers they roundup. I guess we'll never know, since they're all masked

If someone is putting their hands on your body you deserve to know who the hell they are! I believe it’s a violation of human rights! And they are covering their faces because they are ashamed. If what they were doing was right would be no need to cover their faces!!!! Period. Full stop!

Look at these guys. Dressed up like they are going into a hostile enemy camp in Afghanistan. I've done that, and that level of force is way excessive to be used in the U.S. for people who overstayed their visas. Ridiculous use of force.

Remember when they went on and on about face diapers? Mask to prevent spread of lethal virus, bad. Mask to hide identity while you violently take people’s Constitutional right to due process away, good.
