A Department of Homeland Security spokeswoman offered a two-word reply Friday in response to a local news report that said immigration agents were seen wearing Halloween masks in the Los Angeles area. “Happy Halloween!” DHS assistant secretary for public affairs Tricia McLaughlin wrote to NBC News when asked about the report.

The story by the local news site LA Taco featured images posted to social media showing what the outlet says were agents in unmarked cars donning Chucky and Momo masks. It said a member of the Harbor Area Peace Patrol, which monitors federal activity in the area, spotted the vehicle with the Momo mask-wearing driver at an immigration raid on Tuesday.

An activist with Harbor Area Peace Patrol told NBC News that he observed cars previously used on immigration raids leaving an ICE staging area on Tuesday, as they typically do ahead of raids. Two people in the cars were wearing masks – one Momo, the other Chucky. “We are out there six days a week," said the activist, who only wanted to be identified as Victor. "We take pictures of the cars as they leave. We put information out for the community to be aware."

McLaughlin declined to say whether the masks were being worn by ICE officers or Border Patrol agents. She also did not comment on whether the use of such masks would increase assaults on ICE officers if those being arrested attempt to fight back against costumed agents unaware that they’re law enforcement.

4. It's the cruelty that counts.

They want to terrorize the children and their families.

6. They want to terrorize children and their families, yes...

but what they are succeeding in doing is inflaming every adult everywhere. And to do it on a religious holiday, is the absolute most evil. Does this mean they'll crash Thanksgiving dinners? Are they going to steal everyone away from any presents on Christmas Day? Will Christmas pageants be broken up and people carted away in handcuffs? Or is it only Pagan religious holidays they'll terrorize? If so, you have to ask... how much of this is trump and how much of this is theological backbenching from the NAR? As Dominionists, they've always hated Halloween, seeing it not as fun and games for kids and adults, but as the devil's work. And Lady knows, there's no hint of tolerance of any other religious path... even within Christianity... with these people. It's either their way or the highway. They see other groups making headway in this trump horrorscape, and once again, they think they see their goals pushed to the background. I think we're just beginning to see the fanatic, extremist christianists making their moves... killing, maiming, and starving both children and adults... in order to "save their souls," with full aid and support of the most evil person in our time, trump. I, for one, will remember this and the rest of the horrors they've inflicted, and I sit late tonight with Hecate, a mirror in my lap.

8. Ain't THAT the truth!

Unfortunately, since the entire point of The Purge was to get rid of poor people, it's something Trump might consider doing for realz.
