The face-covering gaiter has become a shameful icon for ICE officers who’ve terrorized countless communities across Colorado and the country. But ICE and its partners in the lawless implementation of Trump’s mass deportation program mask up in other ways.
Commentary: ICE leaders want to mask the agency’s detention flights for the same reason its officers want to mask their faces: Their behavior is inhumane and indefensible. And the result is the same: Malign government agents defy transparency and accountability.
ICE masks more than faces | Colorado Newsline
The numerous daily ICE flights that crisscross the country to transport detained immigrants are difficult to track. That's by design.
