    Worse.

    Gestapo did not wear masks and they had their legal documentation/warrants ready and available. They were not hiding.

      If camera phones and the internet were available then they absolutely would have hidden their face, in the beginning at least

      I mean… In some ways maybe that is not worse. Perhaps there is some shame associated with working for ICE.

        It’s not shame they feel, it’s about self-preservation. They know that if everyone knew who they were they would be reprisals.

        If anybody knew who any of these guys were, and worked out where they lived, I wouldn’t give them 24 hours. Eventually they’ll deport the wrong person and someone with a gun will decide that the ends justify the means, and that’ll be that. It will probably spark a massive military escalation on trump’s part, but it won’t matter to them.
