DHS agents do not want people wearing costumes or masks at protests [View all]

The protesters in frog and other costumes have pissed off trump's goons and they are now citing a rule on people in masks or disguises

Link to tweet

BREAKING: DHS agents at the ICE facility in Portland notified protesters that a new policy regarding concealing identities behind facial coverings has gone into effect, starting today.

Wearing a mask on and/or near federal property is now prohibited, allowing federal agents to apprehend subjects on suspicion laws may be violated.

It is okay for trump's goons to wear masks but persons exercising their first amendment rights cannot.

This policy will be litigated
