Why is ICE wearing masks? What are they hiding? The Mayor of Newark was arrested at an ICE facility—when elected officials showed up, masked agents roughed them up, including an 80-year-old congresswoman. Why?!

I told my husband the same thing. Some wear balaclavas though, which would make yanking them off harder, but summer is coming. They’ll start wearing cooler alternatives. Every person they kidnap should fight for their lives. That fight should include yanking off face coverings. Cameras do the rest.

Keep wanting to compare them to Nazis- but the difference here is these officers could leave, quit, have another job- even still in law enforcement- we are not a post war impoverished country, this is not a do or die scenario for these agents- these ICE agents WANT to be doing this.

The masked guys are not in any kind of uniform. They are wearing labeled flak vests, but the rest of their clothes are hodge-podge. Several of them were far too overweight to be official trained agents.

There are two things morally wrong actions can never hide behind. Masks don’t truly cover your soul from what you do and neither does the excuse of “we were following orders.” They should lose the masks and own what they are choosing to be a part of.

Those are hired mercenaries. Hubby & I were told about this 7 yrs ago. That Homeland security & CIA were hiring “drones” The dumber the better. Thugs that would be paid $150K and be happy to harass & arrest people.

I think they want to take the narrative off of the pope - for one thing. Then, I heard someone say that they can still face civil charges and that’s why they cover their faces? Idk if any of that’s right.

Civilians have the ability to identify them too. That’s how the J6ers were wrangled up. The internet did its thing gloriously. Remember, the FBI initially dragged their feet on arrests. How’d that work out for them with the trump second term agency terminations?

They know they can be held accountable when the time comes for their crimes. Hopefully one day Trump is gone and there will be investigations into what the heck happened during trumps time. But first the US has to step up and make sure there will ever be another election. Trump must be removed.

I understand your anger. I share it, but we can’t send them to foreign prisons for the same reasons they shouldn’t send deportees. It’s the same Constitution.

I’m with you why are they wearing masks? Says a lot about a job and the person doing it if they wear masks. If you’re doing a job here there’s no need for a mask. If you’re wearing a mask there’s no need for that job

Government thugs wearing masks to hide their identity - before Trump I had never seen that here. It's straight out of Putin's playbook: For years, Putin "enforcers" have worn masks to terrorize people and to remain anonymous so they can act with impunity. Pure fascism.

They’re hiding the fact that they are not ice agents. These are Maga cult members appointed by Donald Trump who are actually getting paid. He didn’t let out 1600 violent predators and insurrectionist to be nice

This is gonna get buried I’m sure, but it’s something I’ve never thought about. PLEASE take pictures of these plates from these kidnappings! I’m not from the state, but a clearer picture of the plate can be looked up. Put these bitches on blast!

Yes they are he even requested money for them and their loyalty more than once . He’s been trying to compensate these men it’s not because January 6. They are doing whatever they want with funding no one even knows

@ignorantme.bsky.social

Everything is being done so blatantly as to feel empowering to those with the same hidden sentiments. All is designed to control by fear, much in the way many religions do, so it feels comfortable to those so inclined.

Need to get photos, post on social media. Someone knows who these POS are. And then … they and their families need a 💩 load of payback. They need to feel the fear they inflicted so easily on others. Then, a nice long vacation in El Salvador for them all.

@janniec.bsky.social

This is what I think. Even with masks they can be identified by people who know them. Each time something like this happens their faces should be put on social media to be identified and broadcast

Andrea
@andreadaisy.bsky.social

Yes!!! They don’t get to do this and then just move on with their lives. They need to be reminded daily that they are EXACTLY like law enforcement in 1930’s Germany. “Just doing my job” didn’t cut it at Nuremberg, won’t cut it now.

@poli-sci-guy.bsky.social

Because these masked agents are intentionally violating our civil rights. The administration doesn’t want us to have any recourse after they’ve illegally detained innocent Americans.

Roland
@rolandwall.bsky.social

A tip to those who think this is wrong but who also think it's not really something they need to worry about. Every act of micro-obedience - turning away when ICE is harassing someone, guarding your language for fear of losing status or funds, making deals with GOP etc - is supporting fascism. 1/

Roland
@rolandwall.bsky.social

You think that pushing around grandmothers and swarming 16 year old daughters is bad - but you keep quiet or keep repeating "there's nothing I can do about it"? You're helping the thugs. Not everybody can do everything but we all can do something, even if it's just acknowledging the realities.2/

Roland
@rolandwall.bsky.social

You want to be able to live with yourself in 20 years (assuming we get to live), then don't add up actions of micro-obedience. You may not think it matters, but fascisms depends on people not rocking the boat. Practice micro-resistance.

Probably that most of them aren't sworn in cops I imagine. Not that that makes much of a difference, the 50 are loving this shit. Showing their true colours even more than they were before. Pocket Hitler scumballs.

What if they're not ICE? What if ICE is just white supremacists deputized by the Executive branch to terrorize the American people?

Yep Trump’s supporters are now being ice agents and they’re paying them with our tax dollars do you think he let out 1600 violent felons because he cared about them? He let them out because he knew they were loyal to his cause

Hail Mary
@raidergs.bsky.social

Yep. In Trump's world, yes. I say more than half of these guys are not even police officers for ICE. You can see they don't know what they're doing. They're stumbling and fumbling - just like someone who would not have been trained.

Mrs. C. Avocado
@chubbyavocado.bsky.social

You’re not wrong. I read that DOD is recruiting new “service members” at gun shows. I also read that the standards for new military recruits have been lowered. They’ve stop recruiting with the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE) because, well DEI isn’t merit based. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Grace with a Twist
@gerackie.bsky.social

They can’t even identify each other. Just about anyone could show up in those masks & vests & act like they’re ICE agents, & they’ll just be part of the crowd they seem to think they need to have to arrest one or two people.

Maria Elena
@mary-helen.bsky.social

Exactly what I was wondering? Apparently, under Trump citizens can't wear masks, but the ice agents can? They should be fully prepared to be exposed and to answer to what they're doing

Why TF are they dragging them like that? Who the F🤬k do they think they are?! This enrages me. I’ve said it before-and I’ll say it again it’s time for a GENERAL STRIKE-IT’S THE ONLY WAY!!
