A coalition of 21 attorneys general, led by Attorney General Letitia James, is urging Congress to legislate against ICE agents wearing masks during enforcement activities. This call arises from concerns over increased immigration raids by masked agents, particularly in New York City. Images of armed, masked individuals conducting raids in plainclothes have alarmed the public and drawn comparisons to oppressive tactics. Local officials have expressed outrage at these approaches, particularly instances of ICE arresting individuals at immigration courthouses. The coalition emphasizes the need for agents to clearly identify themselves to ensure accountability and transparency.
The rise in masked ICE agents has led to extensive concern among local officials and the public, as they conduct aggressive tactics during immigration raids.
