“This is Gestapo-like behavior where plain-clothes officers wearing masks are terrorizing immigrants who are doing the right thing by going to court, following up on their immigration proceedings and trying to come into this country lawfully, which is through asylum.”

“I was a federal prosecutor for ten years, right there. I worked with the Department of Homeland Security, I worked with ICE agents, I worked with Homeland Security’s investigations. I have never seen any plain-clothes officer wearing a mask, and I asked them, ‘Why are you wearing a mask?’ One person told me, ‘Because it’s cold.’ I asked him if he would testify to that under oath and he walked away and wouldn’t respond to me. Another person admitted that they are wearing masks so that they are not caught on video. And my question to them is: If what you are doing is legitimate, is lawful, is totally above board, why do you need to cover your face? Law enforcement officers do not cover their face. And in fact, the Trump administration is cracking down on universities for allowing protesters to wear masks.

“So apparently, it is not OK to wear a mask if you are protesting the government, but it is OK if you are the government to wear masks in order to shield your face from the public.

“This is not America, this is not who we are.”
