- ICE officers started wearing masks during raids under President Trump to conceal their identities from threats and harassment.
- The masks have become a symbol of the intensified mass-deportation campaign and have drawn criticism for evoking secret police imagery.
- Though optional, many agents consider face coverings essential for safeguarding themselves and their families from assaults and doxxing.
- Legislators and the public demand clearer identification of officers, but removing masks entirely appears unlikely in the current climate.
People tend to be worse when they can be or think they are anonymous.— An ICE official described the effects of masking on police work.
