In his ruling, Judge William O. Young turned his attention to Immigration and Customs Enforcement, condemning its use of masks during operations to “terrorize Americans.”
“ICE goes masked for a single reason — to terrorize Americans into quiescence. … It should be noted that our troops do not ordinarily wear masks. Can you imagine a masked marine? It is a matter of honor — and honor still matters,” Young wrote.
“To us, masks are associated with cowardly desperados and the despised Ku Klux Klan. In all our history we have never tolerated an armed masked secret police. Carrying on in this fashion, ICE brings indelible obloquy to this administration and everyone who works in it,” Young added.
