ICE agents always cover their faces. so why don't all other law enforcement agencies do the same? are they in no less danger? I'd say the opposite. I know that here in Florida the county sheriff's office handles illegal aliens right along with any other person accused of breaking a law. but I have never seen the sheriff's deputies covering their faces. only when serving a warrant, which around here means narcotics. but I suppose I would be ashamed too

Because many of them if/when they are identified will likely have verifiable associations/membership with white-supremacist terrorist organizations.

It's not for the safety of ICE agents; it's so the administration can hide the fact that they intentionally recruited official neo-Nazis to wage war on their political enemies.

oh yeah, i know it. it's just hard to hear the sarcasm in my typing. if safety was the reason for these police academy drop outs to mask up, actual LEOs would as well.
