14. ICE is the only agency wearing masks while committing atrocities.

Your argument is a false equivalency.

ICE is hunting people like slave trackers. ICE is maintaining a database of its enemies; using it to target and track them down.

Citizens should not be forced to comply to illegal abuse, searches and seizures by masked sociopaths (goons) who earned merit badges in the proud boys, oath keepers and lll%ers. ICE hunts humans.

ICE doesn’t value the law or deescalation techniques or public safety. They physically and mentally abuse (torture) law-abiding citizens — even children! And sometimes, ICE kills citizens for no legitimate reason. Imagine that. We know who ICE is — they are every right-wing white supremacist trump ever pandered to. They are inconsequential men whose only access to self-esteem and personal power is found precisely because they wear a mask. To equate them with any legitimate law enforcement operation is a false equivalency.

So the question is, do masks enable ICE’s brutality and lawlessness? I say yes, because the good guys don’t wear them to commit atrocities.
