Rant from LA. (And yes, I'm gonna criticize appearance.) Do not accept the crappy excuse that it's okay for the ICE agents prowling our neighborhoods, places of business and courthouses to act without presenting ID or showing their faces because "they'll get threats". Tough titty. Half of our country gets "threats", now. You can't be on a school board, in a detergent commercial, own a business or get a divorce without receiving "threats". Even our polling places receive "threats" but we still vote, barefaced. ICE agents aren't infiltrating cartels, they're banging outside our grocery stores, grabbing citizens. They aren't storming cartel strongholds, they're speeding through our school zones in unmarked expensive rental SUVs without sirens or lights. And why is the protection of these ICE agents more important that the protection of our local law enforcement officers, who are apprehending actual dangerous criminals, not moms appearing for legal appointments? Many cops receive "threats" and they deal, they don't hide. We don't pay taxes to satisfy Stephen Miller's sick lust to demoralize and "threaten" People of Color. We do not pay taxes to protect hastily minted ICE agent's shame or keep their social media accounts from getting dragged or to fend off their wussy fear of "threats". BTW, a president cannot grant ICE agents immunity without Congress passing legislation. Trump's never had the legal or constitutional power to immunize jack when it comes to federal agents. Is the purpose of being masked a sneaky way to avoid liability of the agent and the government when courts call BS on the Venezuelan invasion? Is it to give ICE agents a "threatening" appearance? Was hiding identity the only way to get some guys to agree to do the ugly job? Is it to invite imposters to commit crimes? All four? In these paranoid days, with people being murdered by fake policemen and FOX viewers blowing away folks ringing their doorbell, standard credentialed identification is a protection and safeguard for both the public and law enforcement. Wasn't public safety the supposed goal of all this performance terror when Trump spewed his "threat"-filled, racist, invasion-from-Venezuela lie and unleashed ICE on los Angeles? Where the hell is all that public safety? All we're getting from Trump's mouth or unidentified, masked ICE agent gun waving is "threats". Every damn day. It's time to realize all of these ICE agents are OUR employees and that we pay their salaries through OUR taxes which makes them obligated to suck up their wimping about "threats" we all endure and identify themselves so they can truly put OUR constitutional rights and public safety first. Not last.
