Whoever heard of law enforcement in our country wearing masks? These guys should be arrested as terrorists. They are scaring the bejeezus out of many people of color. Bottomline is they are chickens who must be ashamed of what they are doing, as well as they should be.
This is bullshit.
Not only do ICE bounty hunters refuse to identify themselves, they won’t say where they’re taking the people they’re kidnapping.
Deliberately shuffling detainees from facility to facility so families can’t find them & they miss their chance at legal counsel.
