Pam Bondi denies knowing Ice agents wore masks during raids despite video evidence
Source: The Guardian
At hearing, US attorney general claims shes unaware of reports that officials have hid their faces during roundups
The attorney general, Pam Bondi, professed ignorance of reports of immigration officials hiding their faces with masks during roundups of undocumented people, despite widespread video evidence and reports that they are instilling pervasive fear and panic.
Challenged at a Wednesday Capitol Hill subcommittee hearing by Gary Peters, a Democratic senator for Michigan, Bondi, who as the countrys top law officer has a prominent role in the Trump administrations hardline immigration policy, implied she was unaware of plain-clothed agents concealing their faces while carrying out arrests but suggested it was for self-protection.
I do know they are being doxxed
theyre being threatened, she told Peters. Their families are being threatened.
...
The public risk being harmed by individuals pretending to be immigration enforcement, which has already happened, he told Bondi. And these officers also risk being injured by individuals who think theyre basically being kidnapped or attacked by some unknown assailant.
People think: Heres a person coming up to me, not identified, covering themselves. Theyre kidnapping. Theyll probably fight back. That endangers the officer as well, and thats a serious situation. People need to know that theyre dealing with a federal law enforcement official.

Why do anything for armed dudes who won't show a badge or ID? There have been instances where people told masked dipshits to show ID or GTFO.

I had not heard about that -- very glad to hear it worked!
I hope word gets around, and more people do that. I hate the way those thugs are terrorizing this country.

(49,517 posts)but this only works if it's fake ICE, bounty hunters, militia dipshits, etc. Real ICE probably won't care if you call the cops.

(1,791 posts)By whom? Can she even provide one legitimate example of such? They're refusing to provide any form of identification and most have their faces covered, so it would difficult, if not impossible, to identify any of these thugs. Total bullshit, by the MAGA Consigliere!

(233 posts)As agents for the government of the United States covering their faces in operations is an act of a coward. In our democracy it is imperative that representatives of the government be held accountable for their actions. Hiding behind masks like the James Gang prevents that accountability.

(7,256 posts)It should be pointed out that it's incumbent upon the officer to ID himself anyway, so being doxed shouldn't be an excuse since they have to give their name and badge number anyway. And for crying out loud I don't see her complaining about MAGA or the President himself doxing people who by the way are not expected to be public or ID themselves.
Law enforcement have always lived with threats. Shouldn't have to but they always have.
They should not be allowed to be SECRET POLICE, police in the United States identify themselves and do not hide who they are like they are scared or doing something wrong.
UNLESS OF COURSE THEY ARE SCARED AND DOING SOMETHING WRONG.

(1,613 posts)They're doing this "unidentified masked" bit because they're hoping one of the targets takes a "2nd amendment solution" to what is perceived as an attempted kidnapping. Then, much like the Not-Sees in 1930s German did by marching in areas where they knew there would be pushback, the magats can point and say "See?!? Those EEEEvil immigrants are violently attacking peaceful federal officers just trying to do their jobs"
