Some are - one of them we know is a murderer. But they wear face masks for the same reason as criminals do, to avoid being caught and made accountable for what they do. If they had the support of the American people would they be wearing masks? Did ICE under Obama wear them? It is significant that law enforcement don't wear masks. But they aren't seeking to evade accountability.
There are people who overreact and are overemotional. Some are unhinged. The administration is doing something unpopular. From that standpoint, it would be reasonable to think that agents might take measures to protect themselves from doxxing. Of course, the administration could do much more to try to go about its business in a way that would reduce tensions and lessen the number of people who overreact or are likely to become violent. There are lots of ways to be strong and to do the job well that involve less goading them on. I would compare the current situation less to ICE under Obama (different time with even lower degrees of animosity) than to what we’d see right now if DeSantis were president. You might very well have masks on the agents. I bet you’d also see much more discipline and professional conduct in an agency that would be more about getting the job done than about flexing muscle at the whims of the administration.
Why not judges? Judges tend to go about a portion of their professional lives with a measure of security in place. When they face threats, their protection is increased. There are threats against ICE. You gonna have additional security for every ICE agent and their families? Whether you approve of what ICE is doing now or not, it’s not terribly unreasonable to have them masked. Of course, it is very bad optics, but that’s a little hard to avoid. I would try to counteract any bad optics by, again, working incredibly hard to be disciplined in messaging and trying to gain the trust of as many Americans as possible by preaching restraint and by-the-book enforcement. You can’t avoid crazies entirely, but you can keep them from gaining allies and you can refrain from provoking them. This administration is much more interested in fomenting chaos and escalating tensions than in quelling civil discord.
But why doesn’t every policeman wear a face mask. Are they not enforcing laws, arresting and detaining people? Same as ICE?
Is it to hide their identity? They aren’t undercover agents are they? Is it so they don’t get harassed when off duty in the community?
I’m seriously wondering because in most of the photos/videos, the majority are wearing masks to hide their face.
Please keep responses civil.
Why do ANTIFA and BLM wear face masks, of they’re just honest folks exercising their first amendment rights? Oh wait, that’s right, they’re not and they’re not…🤣🤡🥸
It is actually something that started with DEA and border patrol agents who were working on stopping cartels from human trafficking and running drugs. In the early days of the war on drugs, there was a tacet agreement between cartels and law enforcement that the cartels would never go after any US law enforcement. Then, DEA agent Kiki Camarena and a pilot who worked for the DEA were captured by the Guadalajara Cartel, tortured and murdered. Later, there was the Fast and Furious killing of ICE agent Jaime Zapata and a number of incidents where cartels have traded fire with US law enforcement on the border.
Since then, the practice has been to conceal the identity of anyone who may come into contract with cartel members when working border patrol or with the DEA. But border patrol agents and ICE who were just doing routine day to day work would never conceal their identity until recently.
The shift came about as DHS has been turned into basically a white nationalist brown shirt group. ICE agents are now indoctrinated into believing that every migrant community is full of dangerous gang/cartel members and that if they reveal their identities they will end up like Camarena or Zapata. This is also why ICE agents have been so violent with protestors. They really believe that there are violent cartel/gang members everywhere and that they are the thin blue (or brown) line between the US being taken over by the cartels and street gangs.
So many life-and-death matters around us, and the clowns and trolls distract themselves with silliness and name-calling. They take occasional breaks from this by making half-hearted attempts to justify their biases and calling it “critical thinking.” It is a profoundly unserious way of engaging in civil life, one that leads to greater chaos and discord, one that erodes the foundation on which American democracy stands.

Where did you get info on the indoctrination and the beliefs by ICE agents thoughts about the migrant communities?

Are you equating ICE with Antifa?
That would be ailly, as ICE isn’t trying to destroy the US, while the other two groups are stuffed with useful idiots bought and paid for by the usual suspects, led by Soros of course.

No, the shift has come since the mensheviks’ tools all go straight for doxxing and attacking anyone trying to stop the plan of the US being turned into a giant third world mudhole that’ll suuply the world with pot and other drugs while the folks in charge hide in the Ukraine after killimg off all the actual Ukrainians and moving the bulk of their population from the US and their other headquarters in the Middle East. That’s what it’s all really about. For now, the “protesters” are juat a crude version of the NKVD, go look up who actually ran and staffed that bunch of racist pigs.

Sinaloa is firmly entrenched in Chicago. There is some cartel presence in Minneapolis. The drug business is big business. Wouldn’t surprise me if some of the billionaires paying the protestors trying to get pictures of the ICE officers were working with the cartels.

What is the date on that first video? Isn't it from some time in October or November? Did anything every come of that? No, I didn't think so.
Too funny that folks like you blindly believe anything that this administration states when most of what comes from them is not true.
Cartels have a large presence in a lot of midwestern cities thanks to Biden’s lax border policies. They trafficked a lot of drugs and people into the country, and many of those people still are working off their debts to the cartels either through extortion, forced prostitution or drug dealing. They have enforcers and sicarios in most places to keep them in line. ICE operations are a threat to those revenue streams.
