    ICE agents just like all law enforcement agencies, are public servants employed by taxpayers. Good luck finding any other legitimate job you can hide your identity from your employer. If you choose to serve the public, you choose to be in the public eye and should be identifiable. I could care less if they wear a mask or not, but they should be required to have some other identifiable marking if not, like a badge number, or hell, even something to identify that they are agents and not just random kidnappers would be an improvement.

    As for being harassed for doing their job, if they’re doing the job in a reasonable way, they wouldn’t be harassed. Sure they wouldn’t be able to hit the quotas they’re given, but having quotas for finding criminals is a backwards concept in general and means they have to create criminals when there aren’t enough that are easy to catch. It shouldn’t be easy. It should be thorough, especially if no life is in danger from the “criminals”.
