It's so they can doxx and threaten them and their families.

@SumKindaMunster What? The kind inclusive left? The party of peace and love?

@DogMan

And now for the leftist double whammy

It's about accountability. What they currently are is a nameless, faceless secret police force unaccountable to both the community and local government. They have been documented numerous times conducting unlawful searches without a warrant. There are numerous allegations of them manhandling and using excessive force to detain people, including US citizens.

The long and short of it is they are violating people's rights without any legal consequences. Having them show their face is a way to hold them accountable to the people. After all, isn't that what the US is all about?

@SumKindaMunster
People in this country illegally don't have the same rights as citizens

The 14th Amendment guarantees rights to 'persons' in the US, not 'citizens', which guarantees them equal protection under the law as long as they are physically present in the US. Those protections include the 4th and 5th Amendments.

you guys

You speak of moral superiority, yet you're the one flaunting this us vs. them self-righteousness. I'm not -nor have I ever identified as - a Democrat. It's a box people with no ability to think critically put me into because they can't stand to have their propaganda challenged.

So is the FBI. So is the NSA. So is the Secret Service. This isn't a valid point.

How many of them are snatching people up with their faces covered? Why should ICE be held to different standards than everyone else?

You don't know that.
I know proof means absolutely nothing to you, but there's video evidence all over social media. And there are numerous testimonies of people speaking to reporters alleging the same thing happening to them. At some point, there's a grain of truth to all these accusations. Or maybe you still believe Bill Cosby is innocent.

You saw they just arrested 10 of them for attacking law enforcement.

Stuff like that is what happens when there is no accountability for the officers. A bill like this would help single out bad actors and hold them responsible

Point of clarity: The 14th Amendment guarantees equal protection under the law to all persons in the U.S., regardless of citizenship status. But that doesn’t mean everyone is exempt from legal consequences. Here's how it plays out:
- Being undocumented is a violation of immigration law—not criminal law in most cases, but a civil one.
- Equal protection means undocumented immigrants must be treated fairly and lawfully during enforcement—not that they’re immune from it.
- They still have rights: due process, legal representation (at their own expense), and protection from indefinite detention

I never called you a Democrat. My comment was based on your general responses that I have read over the last several years of you making such comments. I don't think I misrepresented your position here.

So is the FBI. So is the NSA. So is the Secret Service. This isn't a valid point.

For the reasons discussed all over this thread. To protect them and their families from being doxxed or retaliated against for doing their jobs.

Proof means a lot to me. Hearsay on social media is not proof. However, I concede that there will certainly be mistakes made. People who shouldn't be arrested might be. Somebody could get hurt if they react violently.

Hm, they are held responsible and accountable by their superiors. You just may not know it. It's a government service with guidelines, rules, regulations and processes and consequences.

Is that really the issue or is it you just don't want ICE enforcing immigration laws in this country?
@markinkansas How exactly does just seeing their face verify them as ICE?

Completely baseless statement.
TexChik · F
They know that if they can be identified then their families can be attacked , causing the officers to quit. Its ok for rioters to wear masks, just not LE
@TexChik exactly

If it’s evil, the left wants it.
AthrillatheHunt · 51-55, M
Many people find it reminiscent of mussolinis brown shirts and equate it with fascism, unless you’re a protestor .
@AthrillatheHunt Only those looking for every chance to fit that lib buzzword into every discussion.

Illegal immigrants being caught / deported by agents of the country they are in is law enforcement .. not fascism. Doesnt matter what those agents wear.

What it is in reality is excuse making .. taking the side of the criminals instead of the citizens of this country.

@AthrillatheHunt Exactly.
MasterLee · 56-60, M
I thought the left wanted everyone masked
MoveAlong · 70-79, M
Mostly shame.
@MoveAlong Shame for what? Doing their job? There is NO shame in that.
MasterLee · 56-60, M
@MoveAlong so you have a lot of shame
If they have no problem doing their job then they should have no problem showing their face. Why hide?
nudistsueaz · 61-69, F
@Pinkstarburst It's a lot more about their family and home that it about them.
nudistsueaz · 61-69, F
@Pinkstarburst Not sure he was a Republican. If that's your argument now then go with it. 🙄
@nudistsueaz It is clear we will disagree. I respect your opinion and hope you have a great afternoon. 🙂

@SunshineGirl The mask intereferes with facial recognition software. No one is saying it will stop a bullet, Einstein.
nudistsueaz · 61-69, F
@BrandNewMan Exactly, I'm surprised how many don't know that.
Never know when that Covid might strike.
DogMan · 61-69, M
@MayorOfCrushtown Thats right, they are just trying to protect the illegal immigrants. Hell I still see people
wearing masks in the gym and disinfecting equipment before and after use.

But no one EVER cleans the handle on the front entry door. 🤣
PatKirby · M
@DogMan

I see the same thing at the gym as well. Clean the machine after use but not the front door handle.

Why do ICE agents need to wear masks?
kodiac · 22-25, M
@SpudMuffin This is your little slice of heaven[media=https://youtu.be/9N0lOQtW9lM]

@carpediem Well said.

@kodiac

A fine selection, here's one I think his castrato/falsetto voice and questionable TDS mental state may also be a great fit

markinkansas · 61-69, M
any one can buy a ice suit and fake being ice if masked and no id.. wonder if the proud boys will start doing that.. nice way to harass someone
To dox them.. and maybe… just Maybe.
Theyl be too scared and intimidated to do their jobs and stay home..
Hopelandia · M
No. It’s to hold them accountable for their crimes when the Republicans are finally booted out.
