Trump worrying over ICE agents at airports wearing masks

Kyle Cheney @kyledcheney 35m
Trump appears sensitive to the optics of masked ICE agents in airports.

This is notable as a legal matter because DHS has argued in court (though judges are skeptical) that the mask policy is optional for each agent to decide based on personal/local safety concern.




...he could simply order them to take off their masks.

Masks in airports call too much attention to the atrocities of ICE outside the airport.

Many pardoned J6 degenerates will be part of this.

What's next for ICE agents? Greenskeeping on TSFs golf holes?

they wear mask and can’t be identified. It’s no different than the mindset of a person walking around with a gun on them. It changes how a person thinks and reacts.
