Law enforcement officers should never cover their faces when making arrests or conceal their identities (unless they are working undercover). They work for us. We have a right to know who they are. These face coverings are frightening & unAmerican, as though they're ashamed of what they're doing.

NIC determined that Tren de Agua is not invading. Stop policies based on lies.
Text SIGN PNHNAR to 50409 — The National Intelligence council had determined that: The Venezuelan government is not directing an invasion of the United States by the prison gang Tren de Aragua. Please call out this truth. Oppose lies from the administration about Tren de Agua. Do not tolerate the use of such lies as the basis for the southern border emergency declaration. Invented enemies are a familiar gambit of aspiring dictators and fascists. Say NO.

NEW from @nytimes.com: A bone-chilling account. A Venezuelan man detained alongside the 238 sent to El Salvador on March 15 seems to have disappeared off the face of the earth. His name isn't among the names of those sent to CECOT that day and no one spotted him among those men. He's just... gone.
