In reply to the discussion: The Real Reason for ICE Masks and Anonymity [View all]AZProgressive
(29,805 posts)26. The solution I support is relatively simple
Abolish ICE. It isn't like the police departments that seem like they have been around forever, ICE was started under Bush Jr and in fact it is a lot of Bush era policies that are enabling Trump the most to govern like a fascist.
ICE has been abducting, incarcerating, and deporting people before they started wearing masks. I think there has to be more of a solution than to unmask ICE (not directed at you but at the politicians in office or running for office).
I know at this point it isn't likely to happen but it is something for a future Democratic administration to consider.
