John,
Across the country, Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents are conducting arrests in total secrecy, disappearing people off the streets while hiding behind masks, withholding their names, and ignoring legal process. No badges. No warrants. No transparency.
They claim they’re targeting dangerous criminals. But the truth is, the vast majority of those detained have no criminal record beyond a traffic violation or their immigration status. These aren’t “bad guys”, they’re our neighbors, coworkers, classmates, and family members.
And yet, they’re being hunted by a government agency that refuses to identify itself. It’s a system designed to terrify, to isolate, and to operate above the law.
Trump has turned ICE into his shadow army, empowering agents to raid neighborhoods in masks, dodge public scrutiny, and bypass basic constitutional rights. This is a deliberate tactic to weaponize fear for entire communities.
Now’s the time to fight back. Demand that Congress and state leaders ban masked law enforcement during arrests and force ICE agents to identify themselves. No more secret police in America.
We don’t need more rogue operations. We need truth, accountability, and justice. The system ICE was built to enforce is one rooted in fear, racial profiling, and dehumanization.
The terror doesn’t end with the detention, it spreads across entire communities, forcing people to avoid hospitals, schools, and public life for fear of being disappeared next. That’s not law and order. That’s dictatorship 101.
We can’t let this continue, and that starts with forcing every agent, every badge, and every operation back into the light. Because when the state hides itself from the people, it stops serving them.
We cannot have secret police in America. Sign on to ban masked law enforcement during arrests and force ICE agents to identify themselves.
Together, let’s unmask ICE, end the raids, and take back our democracy.
