House Democrats are urging the Department of Homeland Security to mandate that immigration officials clearly identify themselves when conducting arrests. The demand comes in the wake of multiple reports of men impersonating Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to kidnap and assault women.

The Democratic Women’s Caucus demanded action in a Monday letter sent to DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and other Trump administration officials. The letter, signed by 33 DWC members and shared exclusively with HuffPost, urges ICE agents to “visibly and clearly identify themselves when conducting immigration enforcement activities to stop enabling impersonators who leverage women’s uncertainty and fear of immigration consequences to rape, harass, and abuse them.” ..........................


..............President Donald Trump’s mass deportation agenda has increased barbaric immigration enforcement all over the country. ICE agents are often seen conducting raids fully masked, without proper identification and wearing plain clothes — making it increasingly hard to identify who is carrying out arrests. ................

Trump and his gang will ignore the letter or just make up some lousy statement

1. Who didn't see that coming?

In one form or another, since there is no way to identify ICE agents, someone was going to abuse the situation and go after women, children, members of minority groups, LGBT people etc.

9. Yup, another for Condoleezza Rice's "nobody could have predicted..." file. (n/t)

2. Who could have possibly foreseen this?

Oh, that's right. This old farm boy called Midnight Writer from flyover country with zero law enforcement experience predicted this months ago.

That leaves the question. Is this Administration honestly so inept that they did not see this coming, or is that this Administration doesn't care if women are raped by thugs?

From what I've seen, Administration officials are likely to be out themselves stalking women in their own cosplay ICE uniforms.

Hegseth can save money by not needing to buy roofies anymore.

5. IMO, they don't care.

They probably just consider it collateral damage or just the spoils of war.

6. Seconded. They don't care. (n/t)

[erronis]

13. IMO, this is the purpose. Terrorize the population.

[Diamond_Dog]

3. What a horrible country he has created. Full of fear and violence against mostly defenseless people.

I’ll bet he and all his monstrous cronies like Stephen Miller get their jollies over the thought of what they have caused.

4. Stevie Wonder could've seen this coming

If hell were an actual place, I'd do everything I could to put The Felon and Möen there.

7. Here ya go -

get your bullet proof vest. If someone just paints ICE or POLICE on the vest they are good to go. But the truth is - women are relearning their place.

10. Since women are now required to carry their rapists' baby, there's another potential fascist thug introduced into the

population.

11. Disturbing and disgusting

[littlemissmartypants]

12. They didn't mention murder...

Because the dead can no longer speak.

14. With the fake gold-plated badge (hidden), lots of camo and armament, this is an invite

for all wannabe thugs and people that failed out of the LEO tests.

Not that real LEO are absent from the types that enjoy violence including spousal, child, etc.

[FakeNoose]

15. Women (especially minority women) should always carry a spray can of mace and use it

Spray first, ask questions later.

[Hekate]

16. I am 100% NOT SURPRISED. It was an absolutely foreseeable result of the setup...

A chapter pre-written in the American War on Women

17. Well at least there are no trans folks in congressional bathrooms! nt

[Marcuse]

18. How would we know they are impersonators?

[electron_blue]

19. This is a feature, not a bug

All the better, from fascists' POV, if people (especially those who are not white men) are afraid to go anywhere in public.

20. Not precisely on topic, but,

I saw a plain white van in the Joplin area at a local business, they had what looked like a Jamaican,(long hair and dreads),and several latino looking people and a couple of other people, not white, with what appeared to be their hands behind their backs. I cannot see details yet after eye surgery, just wanted fellow Missourians to know it’s here we just haven’t seen much of it yet. I strongly suspect they were ice goons. The big, fat white guy was watching them, too many steroids.

21. Until it hits their own house, any concern from the diaper administration will be staged.

If any one of them does become victimized, then and only then will it be an actual concern.

[Martin68]

22. That's what happens when you let ICE officials wear masks, hide badges, and arrest people without warrants.

Pure anarchy.
