Is that the real reason they wear masks?
You’ve seen the videos of ICE agents snatching people off the street, throwing them to the ground, beating them, accosting juveniles, etc.
Including terrorizing innocents. Including sticking guns in women’s faces:
Who’da thunk it? (NBC News):
Immigration and Customs Enforcement has placed new recruits into its training program before they have completed the agency’s vetting process, an unusual sequence of events as the agency rushes to hire federal immigration officers to carry out President Donald Trump’s mass deportation policy, one current and two former Homeland Security Department officials told NBC News.
ICE officials only later discovered that some of these recruits failed drug testing, have disqualifying criminal backgrounds or don’t meet the physical or academic requirements to serve, the sources said.
Staff at ICE’s training academy in Brunswick, Georgia, recently discovered one recruit had previously been charged with strong arm robbery and battery stemming from a domestic violence incident, the current DHS official said. They’ve also found as recently as this month that some recruits going through the six-week training course had not submitted fingerprints for background checks, as ICE’s hiring process requires, the current and former DHS officials said
In whose mind are the behaviors we’ve seen representative of professional policing? How many serious law enforcement professionals would welcome these physically, temperamentally, and criminally unfit people on their teams?
I can’t help but wonder how many of these men are pardoned January 6 convicts, Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, Three Percenters, Patriot Front, etc. How convenient that masks make it difficult to identify them by facial recognition.
