When ICE agents come into our communities, we need to know who is behind the mask.

Congress must pass the VISIBLE Act immediately to require federal agents with ICE to wear visible ID and ban non-medical face coverings.
Tell Congress: Stop Masked Agents
Our communities should not be forced to live in fear of masked, armed agents on our streets. Tell Congress to pass the VISIBLE Act immediately.

This is what the groomer libel by the far right was made for. They're going to use it to label trans people as "sexually dangerous persons" with "mental illness" and have them civilly committed.

This is an executive order that lays the groundwork for sending homeless people and people with mental illness to concentration camps to be "civilly committed." It was never going to stop with immigrants.
