Joe Lancaster: Even the FBI Thinks that Masked ICE Agents are a Bad Idea

link

Well, obviously a bad idea...but, as I've argued before, possibly the least-bad option.

The reason ICE agents wear masks--presumably--is that the psychotic, violent, terroristic left has spent ten years targeting the families of people it disagrees with. And attacks on ICE agents are through the roof.

As I've argued in the past: the left could end the masks tomorrow if it stopped being such a bunch of commie psycho totalitarian terrorists...it really is that simple.

And, of course: stop mob disruptions of ICE arrests.

BUT:

If ICE agents are going to wear masks, they've got to e.g. wear uniforms and/or display credentials and/or show up with local police backup or something that makes it possible for people to tell the difference between them and random criminals.

Telling you right now, I wouldn't comply with random dudes leaping out of cars with masks... That would end up being a bad situation. People would get hurt.

But the left is not going to top being psycho.

That's perfectly clear.

So other measures will have to be taken.

One other option: come down like the very fist of God on people who dox, harass, and impede ICE agents or their families. Just throw their asses in jail.

Round up everyone in the anti-ICE mobs and arrest 'em.

Anyway.

There are multiple ways to skin this cat. But if the left is serious about getting rid of masks, it's got to stop with the mobs and doxing.

But, of course, the left isn't serious about it. They looove masks--so long as they're the ones wearing them. The anti-mask stuff is just anti-ICE stuff. It's an argument of convenience to the left.
