Critics believe masks are intimidating and further traumatize children witnessing detainments of their parents, and that they should be required to show their identity and be held accountable the same as police officers.

A man from Ecuador attending his hearing at immigration court waited outside the courtroom as his daughter testified in New York. ICE officers and federal agents also waited. His lawyer petitioned the agents, insisting he has a strong case for asylum. The judge issued a continuance until September, but he remained behind a locked court door until agents called security. ICE detained him and as he was walked away, court observers wept. But his lawyer persisted, and her pleas were heard. 'They are human just like you' she said. Anguish turned to tears of relief in an emotional scene as the group embraced him.
