Trump furious over Dem legislation to unmask ICE agents
Law enforcement regularly wears face coverings when going on raids for a variety of reasons.
First, some of these agents could be undercover, so their identities are being protected. Second, if the raids are covered on the news, they do not want people finding out where these officers live to take revenge.
Yet, Democrats now have the bright idea to unmask agents, as attacks against ICE have risen by 700%.
Attacks on the Rise
Attacks against agents have gone through the roof since the Democrats started this war against ICE.
So far this year, attacks are up nearly 700%, already with more attacks against agents than there were all of last year.
Over the July 4 weekend, there were numerous attacks, and in Texas just a few days ago, a group of nearly a dozen people set up an ambush against agents.
This is all being spurred on by Democrat rhetoric and actions, such as LA Mayor Karen Bass openly interfering with ICE operations.
Dems Unveil New Legislation
Senators Cory Booker (D-N.J.) and Alex Padilla (D-CA) have introduced legislation to demask ICE agents (this coming from the party that refused to unmask ANTIFA).
Booker stated, “For weeks, Americans have watched federal agents with no visible identification detain people off the streets and instill fear in communities across the country.
“The VISIBLE Act is a necessary response grounded in law enforcement best practices that will prohibit immigration enforcement officers from wearing face coverings and require them to display their name or badge number and the agency they represent.”
Again, just to be clear, Dems are fine with protesters wearing masks to hide their faces not to be prosecuted, but they want agents doing their jobs to enforce are laws exposed for revenge.
Trump is Not Happy
Fox News' Peter Doocy asked Trump about the legislation, and the president did not hide the fact that he was seething over it.
Trump stated, "Well, they wouldn't be saying that if they didn't hate our country. And they obviously do. I'm surprised that they would do it knowing a little bit about them.
"These officers are doing a tremendous job. They're great patriots. If you expose them because of, you know, statements like have been made by Democrat and others on the left, usually mostly, I think, probably exclusively, you put them in great danger, tremendous danger."
It just goes back to my point that if people really sit back and see what Democrats are doing, they will clearly see that Dems are only interested in protecting thugs and illegals, not law-abiding American citizens and legal residents. How in the world did we get to this place?
