Senators Alex Padilla and Corey booker have introduced a bill that prohibits ICE agents from wearing face coverings, must have name tag visible, agency affiliation, and other requirements. Dubbed, the visible act of 2025, comes on the heels of the recent attack on agents where a police officer was shot in the neck. It also comes on the heels of several other democrat bills called the “no secret police act” and “no anonymity act” were introduced.

“ICE noted that assaults against its agents have increased by nearly 700%. The agency attributed this sharp rise to the recent demonization of ICE.

Several high-profile threats have been made against ICE agents in just the past few months. A Texas man was arrested in April after he allegedly threatened to open fire on any ICE agents he sees in his neighborhood. In a social media post, he allegedly referred to deportation officers as the “secret police.”


A New York man was also arrested and charged in July for allegedly making online posts threatening to kill ICE agents. In one post about an ICE raid, he allegedly said he could’t “wait to put a bullet into this guy’s brain, but first his children” and in another post, he allegedly said “Kill them all, ICE is the new age gestapo, stop them.”


The threat against ICE agents became all the more real when nearly a dozen violent assailants, equipped with tactical gear and weapons, ambushed an ICE facility in Alvarado, Texas, on July 4, resulting in one local police officer getting shot in the neck after they unloaded rounds of bullets at agents. Authorities have since arrested and charged at least ten suspects in the apparent coordinated attack.”

Here’s my thoughts on this. Let the agents keep their face masks and names off of uniforms, but require them to have a badge number and agency displayed on a uniform or tactical vest. My reasoning for the masks and name restrictions is because agents WILL BE DOXXED by people, most notably, antifa, and THEY WILL HAVE THEIR FAMILIES THREATENED AND PROPERTY ATTACKED. It’s an officer safety issue. I don’t buy the argument that people think others are being kidnapped. They know damn well that it’s ICE agents doing their job when they have some kicking and screaming person that speaks zero English. That’s semantics and propaganda. They want agents unmasked hoping that agents will quit or refuse to do the job for fear of being attacked off duty.

I don’t like that ICE is snagging people off of the streets left and right that aren’t engaging in constant criminal activity. They are grabbing people that have been here for years and have not been in trouble with the law. By all means, you have some little shit from some other country here illegally and constantly stealing or attacking people, driving drunk, killing our citizens-snag them the fuck up and ship them out of here, and immediately. While they’re waiting to be deported-our them on alligator island- it leave the normal, working people the fuck alone….for now. They can wait. It’s no secret that I don’t like trump or his policies and I certainly don’t like the way he is conducting this war on illegal immigrants seemingly haphazardly. Actual US citizens are also catching strays when they are mistaken for an illegal because of their appearance and that is unconstitutional in my opinion.

We give a monopoly on violence to the government, and they need to be accountable to us. There needs to be a way for citizens to know and adjust who is doing what.

Having said that I would wonder how a bill like this would affect undercover police work, etc. Not that it's going to pass, because we don't really have officials who care.
 
Displaying badge number and agency is just common sense.

I don't have a problem with ICE agents masking up; SO19, the Met's elite armed response unit, allows it's members to wear face coverings while on duty. Their rank and police number are clearly visible, though.
 
Guaranteed many Jan. 6ers are now employed by ICE.
It’s pretty easy to identify if you have worked or been around cops.

Watch the videos, most of the guys doing the grabbing are not train properly. Most look scared with their movements, they flinch for everything.. then there are always one or two trained officers who stand in the background and don’t get their hands dirty, keeping things moving.

The majority look well into their 40-50 out of shape or under shape, most likely the younger are those who were turned away from the military or couldn’t become a cop.

They finally are being given a chance..
 
The moment right winger suddenly become perfectly ok with institutionalized masking in public.

And the moment lefties don’t want to see masks. I don’t like the masks but I understand why they do it

They aren't in your country running amok. I don't care what you do or don't have a problem with.
 
It’s a no brainer that they wear masks since they are often times dealing with people connected to violent multi national organized crime networks. I’m sure the cartels would love to know the identity of ICE agents.

Even in cases of non affiliated migrants, just the show of force on immigration is terrible for the cartels lucrative human trafficking business. They would love to know the identity of ICE agents so they can threaten their families and make people not want to protect our borders.

Democrats playing dumb on why ICE wears masks while they are fucking up cartel business is why they shouldn’t even be regarded in the slightest in this discussion. They are trying to get these guys killed.

How come Mexican police that are higher ranked than shaking down tourists wear masks? To protect their identity from retaliation.

Not to mention the American left themselves are pretty much terrorists and increasingly violent and would also threaten the families and lives of ICE agents if they were doxxed
 
If you don't see the issue with unidentified, masked men snatching people off the streets including legal US residents much less at the behest of the executive branch then I don't know what to tell you. It's not like UC LE operations where anonymity is a necessity. ICE is a relatively new agency anyway. They're also notorious for not having warrants and picking people up at immigration hearings who are trying to follow the law and there have been robberies and shit by people pretending to be Federali. LEOs deal with this shit and their faces are unmasked, they have badges, uniforms, names, etc, and the police face plenty of criticism so I don't buy the "they need to be anonymous" thing. Then there's the fact the there's been legal US citizens deported to concentration camps. It's horrific and criminal and that's why the anonymity. I think it's also so they don't face prosecution for their crimes in the future, "just following orders" doesn't cut it. If they were doing normal law enforcement the public wouldn't be so vehemently opposed to their actions. They're not only snatching up violent criminals, that is a lie. There's not that many compared to the numbers they're doing.

I am worried if this continues, I really don't want to see unrest.
 
I don’t understand the ICE agents fear of showing their faces. If they’re so sure they’re right and have the countries support on this you’d think they’d be proud to show their involvement.
I also thought face masks made it impossible to breathe. I guess it’s just the masks that are intended to help people that infuriate those morons.
