WOW! This "WHY do ICE goons get away with wearing MASKS" response HAS ME CONVINCED! USA! USA! USA! USA!

The reason why ICE goons have to wear a mask while arresting and detaining people WITHOUT DUE PROCESS, including people who are LIVING HERE LEGALLY, and terrifying families and children, is that if they didn't wear a mask, you might be able to identify them. THAT'S THE "DEFENSE."

Rapid Response 47

@RapidResponse47
🚨 WATCH: Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons returned to the press conference on Operation Patriot when a reporter asked why ICE agents wear masks:

"People are out there taking photos of the names and their faces and posting them online with death threats to their family."

(as opposed to for the most part non-criminal strawberry pickers, line cooks, and stylists) go out and do their jobs everyday unmasked, in uniform, with marked vehicles and name badges.

Seems to me like ICE are a bunch of fascist thugs who know they're doing illegal shit and don't want to have to answer for it later.

wouldn't need to hide their faces. When law enforcement is proud of an arrest they don't hide their identities, they do perp walks and hold televised press conferences to brag about their accomplishments. But, when heavily armed, jack-booted ICE thugs indiscriminately snatch up innocent, hardworking people with no due process, it's clear why they're afraid to show their faces.

Kinda like a liar gets nervous. There might not be quite as much doxing going on as this assholes says.

Plus, ICE is going against the Constitution every minute that people remain in prison without due process.

They know what they are doing is illegal. The Constitution forbids, it, so they hide their faces. They should be facing citizen's arrest for political abduction.

To effectively report these crimes, citizens need to identify the on hand perpetrators.

Sure, they're "just following orders" -- but that wasn't a valid defense at Nuremberg, and it shouldn't be here.

Why Lt. Aldo Raine and the Bear Jew carved swastika’s into the fore heads of Natzeeees so they could not hide in our country and not be held responsible for being Natzeeeeees.
Let’s get to carving with that big ass knife into the foreheads of the J6 terrorists hired as trumps and the MAGA KKKlan. No more Masks, stop the CHIN DIAPER brigade. (You can not make us wear Mask’s)

If ICE is doing their “detentions” and “arrests” legally,
THEN THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO REASON FOR WEARING MASKS
TO HIDE THE IDENTITIES OF HER ICE GESTAPO AGENTS.

THUS CRIMINAL ACTS DONE BY ICE ARE GOING TO GO UNPUNISHED
AND NOT PROSECUTED IN THE FUTURE WHEN TRUMP’S CROOKED
ASS IS GONE.

SHE IS HIDING IDENTITIES NOW TO HINDER FUTURE PROSECUTIONS OF ICE AGENTS

Best I can find is a paragraph on an obscure web page dated 2/28 referencing a Fox News report mentioning flyers with agent photos and personal information being posted in a LA neighborhood.

I know Fox would never make something up but, to quote my daughter…pics or it didn’t happen. And it seems there are no pics out there.

Is it possible they were doxxed. Sure, but it’s equally possible the administration is making this shit up as they try to rationalize their unconstitutional actions.
