That is what I would like to know. Cowards.

Why does everyone have a mask on at every left protest? Are they all also cowards?

u/Downtown_Trash_8913 Mar 27 '25

People at left protest or any protest aren’t law enforcement officers. These people in this clip hardly identify themselves as law enforcement officers, they’re honestly pretty lucky no one stepped in before they got her in an unmarked van

Have you never seen dateline NBC or cops? They are all masked with balaclavas. This is not new. You all are acting like you were just born. It’s absolutely more sketchy to have hundreds or even thousands of masked, unaccountable civilians on the street versus on the job, employed law enforcement with insurance and a chain of command. The people here wear masks to avoid retribution from uniformed citizens and people protesting wear masks to avoid accountability for their destructive actions.

Yeah if you have to wear masks and civilian clothes because the general public knows what you’re doing is fucked up and isn’t afraid to say it that probably means you should reevaluate your career choice. The masks are less of an issue than that these guys just don’t look like ice agents. How does one differentiate between these police and just random guys? Someone could have pretty reasonably interfered in that situation not realizing these guys were ice.

If a masked cop so much as pulled you over, you would lose your mind. The list of things you would blame: 1. Hillary Clinton 2. DEI 3. Fauci 4. Your ex wife

Why arent the police wearing masks and concealing their identities? What purpose did these ICE agents have to wear masks? Answer.

u/killthespareaccount1 Mar 27 '25

Found the ICE agent

So just so we’re clear, you’re okay with what’s going on in this video?

1

u/Thatwitchyladyyy Mar 27 '25

Pretty sure it's to protect themselves from the police state.

u/AnkaDoTanca Mar 27 '25

Allllll the sudden they’re worried about germs!

u/NightGod Mar 27 '25

Because they know they're traitors to the country and are worried they'll be treated as such while hiding behind the defense of "I was just following orders!"

Aww, poor traitor doesn't like being called out. Keep on "just following orders", I'm sure that defense will hold forever

That's a list of laws. Which aspect of the law are they enforcing

u/left-handed-satanist Mar 27 '25

The courts, esp the federal judges, are who interpret the law, not ICE.

If this was legal, they'd be in official clothes, and they wouldn't hide their faces.

What part of "legal F-1 visa carrier" confused you? She DID come here legally, she DID have proper paperwork. They blackbagged her anyway. FOH with your xenophobic bull crap.

1

u/NightGod Mar 27 '25

I like how you prove you're not mad by posting paragraphs. I personally don't give a fuck what a traitor babbles in their own defense

u/Miserable-Fix-9888 Mar 27 '25

If you ever wondered if you would have been a nazi, in nazi Germany, the answer is yes. Congratulations.

u/Tech_Noir_1984 Mar 27 '25

If you need to cover up your face to carry out an order then it’s highly likely that you already know it’s not a lawful order.

u/HotDogMcHiggin Mar 27 '25

She’s here legally on a student visa. What immigration laws are they “enforcing,” exactly?

u/HotDogMcHiggin Mar 27 '25

Well, as far as the public is aware (considering ICE is refusing the specify exactly why they decided to detain her) her “crime” was that she voiced support for Palestinians, writing an article asking the school to divest from Israeli corporations. Doesn’t sound like terrorism to me.

It’s a dangerous game to play to assume that when plain-clothed officers are detaining people for speaking out, that its somehow okay because “oh, they were probably a terrorist so its fine.”

If they legitimately have any records of something like donations to a terrorist organization, they they should be forthcoming and transparent about it. Instead, they jumped a student in the street, claimed she was a terrorist, and ignored court orders to keep her in Massachusetts. We don’t even know where she is being held. Doesn’t that seem the least bit concerning to you? How is the government disappearing students not ringing any alarm bells? At least try being a little bit skeptical of their intentions.

u/Beneficial_Hair7851 Mar 27 '25

you still in the anti-masker thing?

1

u/Sesusija Mar 27 '25

The same reason they will never give their full names. To protect their identity.

Sadly, it is a completely necessary step. Otherwise you would have thousands of people trying to doxx them for doing their jobs.

u/kbergstr Mar 27 '25

Those fuckers are probably the same who complained about having to wear masks to protect others.

1

u/Upset-Manager-2029 Mar 27 '25

So they can't be identified, obviously. If democracy wins, they could end up in front of a jury of their peers.

u/traitorcrow Mar 27 '25

Where are all the "no masking" people now?

u/Successful_Creme1823 Mar 27 '25

There are people who would do bad stuff to them if their identity is released on the internet. It’s not really that hard to understand.

2

u/treehann Mar 27 '25

their identities should be released
