    Maybe the ICE officers should also stop wearing masks to hide from being accountable for their illegal actions.

        Extraordinary rendition is absolutely illegal, especially when it is done without due process and against a court’s order such as the case of Garcia or the dozens of other people flown to CECOT. “Just following orders” isn’t a defense. And I’m sorry to say, but as a federal law enforcement officer, they specifically chose to put themselves and their families on the line for their country. That’s why they are paid and trained and supplied with all manner of paramilitary equipment. What cowards to hide behind masks. They should be proud of the job they are doing and be recognized for it since it is totally within the confines of the law, right? And even more so, to hide behind their families’ “safety” as if that absolves them from their shit behavior. No masks for law enforcement. They are public servants and must follow the law.

        Kinda like what the protesters deal with? Force needs to meets force with equal measures or it is overrun. You don’t deal with fascism by laying down and playing dead.

        • Not sure how u are comparing deportation to death threats? Are u advocating for literally fighting the federal government with force? Cos if so that is by definition a rebellion or at a minimum of an attempted rebellion. You do realise by saying this you have met the requirements for the president to call in the national guard without the governors approval.

          “10 U.S.C. 12406,” within Title 10 of the U.S. Code on Armed Services. It allows the president to deploy federal troops in instances of “a rebellion or danger of a rebellion” against the U.S. government.

          U yourself just provided evidence to support the use of federal troops.
