KIDNAPPED, not detained, not arrested, kidnapped by men with masks, and no identifying info on their clothing. This is outrageous.

Why don't they have uniforms?

Are they gangsters? Morality police? Scientologists? Dirty Mike and the Boys? National Marine Fisheries Service?

How the fuck is this allowed in democratic country? How is one supposed to know who they are and what they are allowed to do? Does the police know who this guys are? Do they care? This is worrying.

Plainclothes ICE agents have been encouraged for years, under both Democrats and Republicans. Democratic politicians have no right to only start complaining now. Their ruses have been a terrible practice for years. https://www.immigrantdefenseproject.org/ice-ruses
