President Donald Trump's second term has been marked by increased immigration enforcement actions across the country. Worse, officials often hide their identities during raids—wearing face masks, driving unmarked vehicles, and not displaying badges or insignias identifying the agency they represent.
"Practically speaking, there is no reason for law-enforcement agents to conceal their identities, wear face masks, and grab people off the street without identifying themselves," Steven Greenhut wrote last month at Reason. "How is an ordinary person supposed to know whether their abductor is a legit government agent or kidnappers from a drug cartel? In the former, fighting back will land you in the morgue—in the latter, not fighting back will do so."
