    They got guns and are in large groups

    The only reason to wear a mask it to avoid being caught doing illegal shit

      They also wear them because ICE wants to hide who it is they have been recruiting.

    Duh. It’s the plot of The Watchman series except without even an historical moment masquerading as justification. In other words, reality is worse than fiction.

    To be fair, it does protect them from danger…

    …the danger one should normally face as a result of doing unconstitutional things.

    the protect thing is bollocks. all cops have to worry about their safety. ICE needs them for the same reason people need them besides for medical or costuming reasons. They need them to commit crimes.
