White House border czar Tom Homan said that while he doesn’t like that federal immigration enforcement officers agents wear masks, he believes they need to wear masks to protect themselves against threats and violence.
“I don’t like the masks either,” Homan said in an interview with Ed O’Keefe on “Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan” on Sunday.
Homan said assaults against Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers have increased by 1,500% while threats against them have increased by 8,000%. The Department of Homeland Security said in a Jan. 26 news release that assaults against ICE officers had increased by more than 1,300%. Neither Homan nor the release gave a timeframe for that surge, nor did they give a source for the assault and threat claims.
You know who else needs to protect themselves? Everyone. From you.
If they’re “law enforcement”, they should be the ones protecting and serving, right? No other branch wears masks, hides badge numbers, and has absolutely no accountability. If they’re fascist extrajudicial thugs, then they’re only “protecting” themselves against the will of The People, the majority of whom don’t approve of their methods and lawlessness. If they feel the need to, maybe look at why most of us don’t feel comfortable with them being political enforcers that answer to no law or judge…?
There’s no excuse for them not requiring every Ice agent to wear some kind of displayed number that can identify them when there’s an issue. The fact that they won’t even do this bare minimum is proof that they just want to allow these people to act as terrorists to the American people.
In 2020 masks were a leftist control tool from the evil NIH.
That’s different. Those masks saved ordinary people’s lives. Can’t have that.
And why do they have to protect themselves? Is it because they are knowingly throwing the legal rights and process out the window and committing vigilante, racist, perverse genocidal philosophies out that are against the law?
If you have to wear a mask to hide from the public to “enforce laws”, you are always a bad actor. Not that they care.
In over 20 years of the existence of ICE they’ve only “needed” them since Trump was last sworn in. Coincidence?
Have they tried not being fascists?
I’m pretty sure they haven’t actually tried this one simple trick. The thing is the tax paying citizens AND immigrants both love this one simple trick.
Protect them from what? What has happened to them in the past? There is no evidence to support what they are saying
To be fair, the # of assaults on ICE has likely skyrocketed since they began their campaign of masked abductions, assaults, and worse.
The number of assaults by masked ice agents has likely gone up by a higher %
Protect themselves from everyone knowing who they are and being held accountable for their explicitly illegal and immoral actions.
Go fall face first on an upright pitchfork Homan.
Won’t someone think of the secret police?
Those who surveil you and attack your neighbors hide their faces to protect their safety
If they didn’t do anything wrong, they have nothing to hide, do they?
Fuck off.
