Law enforcement officers have always been unmasked in this country until ICE started wearing them last year.
*That* is the departure from norms. *That* is the step too far.

Tillis says he opposes ICE being barred from wearing masks: "I've seen people dox me. I've seen people take pictures and identify law enforcement officers and then put their families at risk. So, I think that's a step too far."

HUGE news! This is about a Trump admin effort to arrest thousands of screened and vetted refugees in Minnesota and fly them to Texas to be jailed and then interrogated.
After the interrogation is over, people are being dumped on the street and told to find their own way back.

ICE agents refused to allow 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos to stay at his Minnesota home after being detained, despite family, neighbors and school officials begging them to do so.
Instead he was taken across state lines to a Texas detention center.
That’s literally child trafficking.
