Federal immigration agents are under fire for protecting their identities while doing dangerous work. Leftist politicians want to strip away their basic safety measures, even as violent threats against these patriots skyrocket.
Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons fought back tears describing the dangers his team faces daily. “My officers get death threats targeting their kids just for enforcing our laws,” he said. Yet Democrats like San Diego’s Mayor Todd Gloria complain about agents wearing masks during raids instead of addressing the criminal aliens terrorizing communities.
Radical activists have doxxed over 400 ICE agents this year alone – posting their home addresses and children’s school schedules online. A Tennessee mom recently found bullet holes in her minivan after her husband’s ICE badge was leaked on dark web forums. These heroes need anonymity to survive.
Democrats keep whining about “transparency” while cities like Boston and San Diego shield violent illegal immigrants from deportation. Rep. Dan Goldman claims masks make ICE look like “stormtroopers,” ignoring the fact that gang members specifically target agents’ families for retaliation.
The hypocrisy is stunning. These same politicians didn’t care when antifa thugs wore masks to firebomb federal buildings during BLM riots. Now they’re clutching pearls over lawmen trying to avoid being murdered in their sleep. It’s pure political theater.
ICE arrests have doubled since President Trump’s deportation surge began, with 1,600 criminal aliens nabbed daily. Sanctuary cities hemorrhaging tax dollars to protect violent offenders suddenly care about “community trust” when real enforcement starts.
Senator Marsha Blackburn introduced a bill to jail anyone who doxxes law enforcement. “Liberals would rather protect MS-13 rapists than the brave ICE agents keeping Americans safe,” she said. The legislation has zero Democratic support so far.
While coastal elites virtue-signal, ICE agents risk everything to remove child traffickers and drug dealers from our neighborhoods. Masked or not, these patriots deserve respect – not leftist smears comparing them to Nazi regimes for doing their jobs.
