Looks like we'll be the ones wearing masks soon.
derbOac•5h ago
I'm starting to think the reason they wear masks all the time is projection, once again. They know what they're doing and it frames their perception.

We have "police must identify themselves" baked into the public consciousness to the level that the drunkest guy in the Saturday night holding cells still manages to belt out "What's yer badge number?"

ICE is scared of accountability.

atmavatar•4h ago
Accountability is part of it, but I think the bigger part of that is how it terrorizes people to be (or see others) swept up by a gang of unidentified thugs.

This is the same group that thinks wearing masks is oppression in other contexts.

> “ Looks like we'll be the ones wearing masks soon.”

Not if you live in Nassau County, NY where it’s a misdemeanor to wear a mask to conceal your identity (8/2024)

"Everything else — the CBO score, the proper baseline, the minutiae of the Medicaid policy — is immaterial compared to the ICE money and immigration enforcement provisions." - VP JD Vance, as the budget reconciliation bill was approaching final passage in the House.

The policy has been clearly stated. Getting rid of immigrants is the one and only priority. Health care policy does not matter. Budget policy does not matter.

And as we see here, rights do not matter, if they get in the way of aggressive pursuit of immigration policy.

soupfordummies•4h ago
Even “Immigration policy” is a Trojan horse of priority if ICE is squaring up against protestors and activists.

They are doing it because they can. Linking it to one side of the political debate is an unhelpful straw man. As an example the openly political tone of the article makes me trust it less.

> Linking it to one side of the political debate is an unhelpful straw man.

Would you care to elaborate? To me, it looks an awful lot like one of the single most partisan issues of present times.

Same as in China, it's not too political. Coming everywhere.
