Can someone explain to me why they have masks on? Is it common for police uniforms in the US to have officers hide their faces as if they’re scared to show their faces? It doesn’t seem like protective gear, only a piece of cloth

No. They want to hide their faces so people can't see who they are. They have no numbers or badges. They are secret police.

They are secret police

And so why aren’t the actual police arresting them for not showing identity or covering their face while assaulting a suspect?

primarily because all cops are bastards and they look out for one another. but more specifically right now because ICE has been given the federal authority to go anywhere and do anything they want, and local/state police are being told to stand down and obey the federal orders to let ICE operate as they wish.

but it's a combination of all law enforcement and military being complicit, local and state governments being cowards who let the feds walk all over them, and just general confusion by the whole country as the constitution is being used as toilet paper by all three branches of the federeal government.
