When #immigrants are so terrified of being spotted and disappeared by #ICE just for being outside that they stop coming out of their homes, eventually the #TrumpRegime will hunt them down and raid their homes to root them out. #immigrationcrackdowns #nachtundnebel

After reading the linked CNN article, consider also another aspect of the terror now pervading the immigrant community -- that anything reported online by the media, anything said by interviewees, tells the Trump Regime where next to target their efforts. Already they’re achieving one desired effect of their crackdowns and pogroms - fearful self-deportation, a sense of JOY in leaving a country where people like them are not wanted or welcome. And eventually it comes to this -- When immigrants, especially undocumented persons, and other “undesirable” persons are so terrified of being spotted and disappeared by ICE that they shut themselves inside their homes and never come out, eventually the Regime will raid the homes themselves to root them out. https://www.cnn.com/2025/08/24/us/immigration-disappearing-migrants-ice-cec-vis

In American life, a growing and forbidding visual rises: The law-enforcement officer in a #mask

NEW YORK (AP) — "In a matter of months, it has become a regular sight around the country — immigration enforcement agents detaining people and taking them into custody, often as public anger and outcry unfold around them. But in the process, something has disappeared: the agents’ faces, covered by caps, sunglasses, pulled-up neck gaiters or balaclavas, effectively rendering them unidentifiable.

"With the year only half over, the covered face — as deployed by law enforcement in a wave of #ImmigrationCrackdowns directed by President Donald Trump’s White House — has become one of the most potent and contentious visuals of 2025.

"The increase in high-profile immigration enforcement was already contentious between those opposed to the actions of Trump’s administration and those in support of them. The sight of masked agents carrying it out is creating a whole new level of conflict, in a way that has no real comparison in the U.S. history of policing.

"Trump administration officials have consistently defended the practice, saying that immigration agents have faced strident and increasing harassment in public and online as they have gone about their enforcement in service of Trump’s drive toward mass deportation, and hiding their identities is for their and their families’ safety to avoid things like death threats and doxing, where someone’s personal information is released without their permission on the internet."

Immigration enforcement officers in masks become a visual staple in US

Immigration enforcement agents are detaining people and taking them into custody, at times under public anger and outcry. What’s often not visible are the agents’ faces, covered by caps, sunglasses, pulled-up neck gaiters or balaclavas, effectively rendering them unidentifiable. The increase in high-profile immigration enforcement was already contentious between those opposed to the actions of President Donald Trump’s administration and those in support. The sight of masked agents carrying it out is creating a whole new level of conflict in a way that has no real corollary in the U.S. history of policing.
