Tap title to read story
Masked immigration agents' aggressive tactics during arrests across the U.S. are sparking fear and controversy. Videos show agents, faces obscured, detaining individuals, sometimes violently. While DHS claims masks protect agents from threats, civil rights groups argue the practice undermines trust and encourages violence. One photographer, Job Garcia, sued DHS after a violent arrest, alleging profiling and excessive force. The incident highlights concerns about accountability and potential for abuse when agents conceal their identities, with some senators proposing legislation to ban the practice.
