Democrats and the Media Are Trying to Get ICE Agents Killed With Unmasking Demands

ICE agents wear masks for a very specific reason. It is because radicals on the left have vowed repeatedly to dox them, kill them, and even murder their families.

Despite this horrible reality, Democrats and their allies in media keep calling for members of ICE to be unmasked and even to use an ID to identify themselves when making an arrest.

Democrats don’t demand that their foot soldiers in Antifa unmask. They don’t demand that radicals on college campuses protesting Israel unmask. They don’t demand that people show ID when they vote. Yet somehow, they want these things for ICE.

Why would they demand this? There’s only one reason. They want these people to be killed.

Senate Democrats are pushing hard for this.

The Hill reported:

Senate Democrats press ICE on uniform, mask protocol

A group of Senate Democrats are pressing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on the masking of officers not in uniform during its operations.

In the letter, sent to acting ICE Director Todd Lyons, the group of Democrats argued the masks and lack of uniforms have led to chaos in Los Angeles as agents have looked to make arrests. The letter also accused ICE of seeking to meet “arbitrary quotas” set by Stephen Miller, a key adviser to President Trump widely seen as demanding huge increases in ICE detentions.

“We write regarding the apparent widespread violations of historical norms and traditions in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (“ICE”) operations in Los Angeles and across the country by engaging in law enforcement activities—including arrests—without wearing identifying uniforms and while masked,” the lawmakers wrote.

“As ICE engages in unprecedented numbers of immigration raids across the country, reportedly in response to arbitrary quotas set by White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, it is crucial that ICE personnel not engage in conduct that is all but guaranteed to sow chaos and confusion and put law enforcement officers in danger,” the group added.

Greg Gutfeld talked about this on The Five today.

ICE agents must continue concealing their faces as long as the left continues to act out violently against them. It’s really as simple as that.
