This is really sick. They wish to intimidate the officers. You can bet it is the same people who doxxed law enforcement officers before, who don't worry about putting the officers and their families in danger.

If the ICE officers are sick they should stay home instead of using masks to contain their expectorations.

Yes someone impersonating an officer and wearing a mask, what could go wrong?

Why is it these officers are afforded greater protections then I as a regular government employee who has all my information made public? If you want to protect government employees protect us all equally and stop playing favorites.

Local police don’t hide their faces. Sheriffs don’t wear masks and CHP don’t either. It’s a part of building trust with the community you’re policing. People proud of the work they do don’t cover their faces. These ICE agents are only wearing masks to hide the shame of what they’re doing and to avoid the inevitable civil rights lawsuits that will be coming out of this whole mess.

There’s also speculation that a lot of these aren’t actual ICE agents but instead bounty hunters being paid to apprehend people so ICE can make their quota. That’s why they’re driving normal unmarked cars, wearing masks and not producing a warrant or identifying themselves when making these arrests.

ICE was shifted to Homeland Security and now enjoys significant operational latitude. It can certainly be abused when combined with an 18th century controversial law " Aliens enemies act."

After what happened in Minnesota, anything else is unacceptable. If they’re not breaking the law, having their faces uncovered should be NBD.

Excellent idea. And a visible police presence usually serves as a deterrent too bad behavior. I have been horrified listening to the stories of ice wearing face masks and no identification.

Level the playing field -

neither side wears masks and both sides wear readily seen Identification.

This is about people being illegally detained by masked, unidentifiable ICE agents, not protestors facing off against riot police. I saw the riot police of LAPD standing guard this past weekend at the protest in downtown LA and they all have their badge number proudly displayed on their vests. These ICE agents are rolling around in unmarked civilian vehicles, not producing a warrant when asked, covering their faces and acting like they don’t answer to anyone.

Surely some of you “small government conservatives” can see the problem here?

Maybe we should just fully eliminate undercover police work while we are at it. Or maybe we should just doxx all of the ice agents so that they think twice about doing their jobs while their families are in danger.

You’all activism and hatred for the present administration is clouding your judgements. The whine and crying from the left is pitiful just like it was for the right during the last administration. All common sense and good judgement goes out the window. Ok off my soap box.

No - it is about Federal Agents doing their job being doxed by the left and violent people showing up at their homes. They need to protect themselves and their families.

ICE agents ‘doxed’ on social media, wear masks after receiving death threats, director says


Federal officers have been “doxed” on social media, and often wear masks while on duty and making immigration arrests after officers, and their families, have received death threats, Lyons said.

“A lot of agencies were invited to come out two weeks ago in Los Angeles where we ran our operation where ICE officers were doxed,“ Lyons said.

“So let’s just say that again. People are out there taking photos of the names, their faces and posting them online with death threats to their family and themselves,” Lyons said.

Remind us all again, which side can bring the full power of the United States down on the other side?
Thanks.

Again, not my problem. My concern is the safety of the public facing these unidentifiable, masked, armed men who are going around kidnapping people off the street.

Then if it isn’t your problem. It seems you are saying, you do not care that they are doxed and threatened?

Is that accurate
