ICE agents say the masks save them from doxing and protect their families from the animosity towards them in society. 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. Legal efforts to unmask them are ongoing. There is a vast political divide in America. Some protest, decrying a lack of due process with echoes of Nazi Germany and a slippery slide into fascism. Others applaud.

'We angry. We all angry out here!' screamed a woman as she reacted with indignation and rage as ICE detained her friend's fiance after his immigration court hearing at the Jacob Javits Federal Building in New York. 'What's wrong with you guys?' she asked. 'We don't like none of you.' A security guard stepped in and de-escalated the situation, moving her to an elevator as one of the agents threatened her with arrest for yelling at them. 'Don't come up in my face because I hit hard,' she challenged. 'You try me and see what the fuck happens, You want to hit me? Hit me, that's why you got to hide your face', My face ain't hidden bitch. I'm American.' Before the doors closed she addressed the media. 'Put that on the news. Let Trump see it.'

The masked ICE agents and federal officers making detainments of migrants after court hearings at the Jacob Javits Federal building during President Trump's controversial immigration reform policies amid a mass deportation effort in New York, NY from June-December, 2025. (PHOTOS ARE NOT POSED). In balaclavas and sunglasses, they spend most of their days waiting against walls with papers bearing photos of their 'target.' A few in supervisory roles are unmasked but most agents say the masks save them from doxing and protect their families from the animosity towards them in society. 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. Legal efforts to unmask them are ongoing. There is a vast political divide in America. Some protest, decrying a lack of due process with echoes of Nazi Germany and a slippery slide into fascism. Others applaud. And daily, detentions continue.
