[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wear a f^cking uniform already. If the work being done is honorable, don’t hide behind the argument that those being arrested / detained MAY resist. Wearing street clothes certainly doesn’t reduce the risk of that anyway … in fact, it does just the opposite.

FFS, I’m a fifth generation natural born citizen of Western European heritage and I've resorted to carrying my passport on a daily basis now, too. This has gotten goddamned ridiculous, and everyone knows it.[/quote]

Most federal LE agencies are plainclothes. This isn’t unique to ICE and it isn’t new.[/quote]

Well given that ICE has orders to arrest 3,000 people a day and given that most of these arrests will likely occur in public where they may frighten onlookers, don't you think it's perhaps time for the whole plain clothes with or without a face covering presentation to be revisited? Just because it isn't unique or new doesn't mean that it shouldn't be re-examined in the present context.

Part of that context is a post-Covid world where masking has acquired new meanings, including fears that in some cases they can be used by hide the identity of someone committing a crime. Some localities or states have passed or have tried to pass laws restricting mask wearing by non-LEOs out of safety concerns: Nassau County, NY; North Carolina (statewide): House Bill 237 restricts mask-wearing in public but includes an exemption for medical masks to prevent disease spread and requires individuals to remove masks temporarily upon request by law enforcement or property owners for identification; Yonkers, NY: A proposed mask ban was under consideration by the Yonkers City Council in 2024.
