Every other “officer” needs identification. Even our water meter reader guy wears an orange vest and shows ID. Some say these guys aren’t even ICE but Oath Keepers et al. I doubted at first but maybe they’re testing them out to prove they can shoot more fish in a barrel than official agents.
Probably newly deputized "agents" who are willing to jeopardize their "careers" vis-à-vis these legally questionable (at best) raids. Likely recruited from Proud Boys and other extremist populations and the feds do not want them identified as such.
Great question- if DHS claims these agents somehow need anonymity, that’s patently absurd given that all other law enforcement officers manage to do their jobs - often more hazardous than detaining immigrants- without covering their faces.
The random labels on the tactical gear like the vests used by ICE “agents” makes it look like they brought their own gear from home, that they bought online.
They wear masks so that they can't be identified in the version of the Nuremberg trials that will be held after Trump has gone and America regains its sanity.
Democrats will never put anyone on trial. It will be all 'we must come together and put aside our differences and embrace our commonalities' blah blah fckin' blah
Seems like it’s always been allowed at agents’ discretion and has now become a cultural norm (the official rationale is to protect them from threats/doxxing but clearly they just think it looks badass)

They're all fake and should be treated accordingly.
(Where are all the tyranny-paranoid 2nd Amendment-shrill preppers now, huh?)
Just kidding.
Protection from being recognized as the scum they are and too chickenshit to admit it openly.
b. with masks to protect from facial recognition because
c. they are the psychopath's pardoned shock troops
perhaps?
