The Real Reason for ICE Masks and Anonymity

It's not about the fear of being doxxed and threatened at all. That's what they say, but that's not even close.

The masks and hidden identities and nametags are deliberate. Designed so those ICE agents can get away with violating the human and constitutional rights of those they grab, detain, deport, and otherwise disappear.

Nobody, and I mean nobody knows who those individual ICE agents are, other than themselves and maybe their buddies. If someone's rights are violated, or if they are injured or even killed, nobody will be able to identify the individual ICE agents who did the violations or harm. There are no records of who was there on a particular actions, I suspect, so there's nobody who can be charged for such violations of the law.

The anonymity of ICE agents is a feature, not a flaw.

We don't know who they are. We don't know how they were selected. We don't know how they were trained. We don't know anything about them. They are anonymous and unidentifiable. They can't be held to account, because they cannot be identified. It's sort of a perfect disguise for people who want or are ordered to break the laws through their actions.

I don't see any move to change any of this. We don't know how much they are paid. We don't know much of anything about those men who are mobbing people where they live, work, go to school or walk down the street. They can't be identified, so we can't hold them to account for any crimes they commit.

This is a very, very dangerous problem, for which I find no ready solution.

It is about being doxxed and threatened you idiot. You don't know who they are? You didn't seem to give a crap with 10 million people coming over out of the border and not knowing who they are...🙄🙄

Neither are soldiers in the military. And neither are breaking laws, rock for brains.

If your party wasn't insistent on doxxing agents and making violent death threats to anyone they disagree with, the brave ICE agents wouldn't have the need to wear masks and hide their identity. Perhaps your violent protestors should show their faces as well if they're so brave and proud of their beliefs.

Rocky's intelligence is underwhelming at best, but is he so stooooooopid that he does not realize that there are records of who participated in what arrests where? Meanwhile, not only do ICE and etc. officials state that the masks are used to hinder doxxing, but there have been multiple IRL instances of doxxing and threats against ICE agents' families.

So what's the reason for left-wing "protestors" wearing masks then?

(Yes, it's a rhetorical question).

... We don't know how they were selected. ...

Very obviously, ICE, CBP, FBI, etc. agents go through interviews and training before being sent out to enforce the law. If Rocky doesn't like not having sat in on those interviews and training sessions, too bad.

Yea. Detailed records of everything are one of the few things the gov is good at. But if you are missing some, check Biden's car-port.
Look in the cardboard boxes just behind his Corvette.

It's almost like someone at DU has questioned MineralMan's stupidity, hypocrisy, and dishonesty so MineralMan decided to create a post showing the it's the most stupidy, most hypocritical, and most dishonest individual on DU. I have to give it credit. It did a good job, but there's a lot of contenders on DU for the stupidity, hypocrisy, and dishonesty gold medals. Anyway, good luck MineralMan!
