As traditional American citizens, we have been shocked and appalled at the Gestapo-style program of unannounced, summary arrests of peaceful and law-abiding immigrants by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency (“ICE”) most especially, the denial of constitutional “due Process” guaranteed to all “persons.” Such cruel and un-American practice is fully consistent with the Trump Administration’s right-wing, biased program of prosecution of foreigners; under the zealous administration of an Adolph Eichmann-like psychopath, Steven Miller. We have chosen to remain hopeful such shameful, un-American travesties will soon legally be abated.
Our shock and angst are greatly exacerbated by the disconcerting and dystopic sight of the arresting ICE officers’ practice of wearing black facemasks and thus adding a bizarre Dark Ages Inquisition-esque atmosphere to their shameful violence. It may be noted, historically, that neither the Nazi Gestapo, the Communist KGB, nor the East German Stasi, sported masks in the respective courses of their political malefaction.
Masks, functionally, are objects worn on the face for protection, disguise, theatrical purposes, or religious, ethnic traditions. Notably, the prophylactic use of face masks, recommended by the publicly responsible medical profession, during the COVID pandemic was denigrated by the MAGA- Trump political adherents, who, in their lemming-like cultish worship of the excrable Orange Deity, opposed the wearing of the recommended, health protective masks.
The televised arrests are irrefutably unconstitutional, obscene, and un-American, nevertheless, we are optimistic that such practice of political arrest, with or without face masks and the outrageously unconstitutional denial of due process, will soon be addressed by the judiciary.
Our observational question is an obvious one: If the arrests are legally legitimate law enforcement activities, why is there a necessity to disguise the arresting officer in a black mask? We would be considerably happier if the use of masks were reserved for Halloween and to the Lone Ranger.
And, considering Donald Trump’s recommrndation to keep felons, rapists and criminals out of the country; we are willing to pack his golden suitcase and make a quick telephone call to the airport taxi.
