RINO Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) appeared on far-left MS NOW (formerly MSNBC) to betray and attack agents who are putting their lives at risk every day while working with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to deport illegal aliens, many of whom are connected to cartels or other criminal organizations that could target them or their families.
In fact, many ICE agents are not only themselves being threatened by enemies who discover their identities, but are seeing their families threatened by those, such as radical leftists, who manage to discover their identities. As such, many have taken to wearing masks so as to protect themselves and their loved ones.
Sen. Rand Paul attacked them for that, indicating that they need to keep their identities open by not wearing masks, something that would make it far easier for leftist groups, cartels, and other wrongdoers to identify them and, yet worse, the identities of their family members and loved ones.
Such is what Sen. Paul argued on MS NOW. Beginning, he said, “I think the main thing is if you want trust to develop again, I’m not somebody who wants to abolish ICE. I want ICE to behave within the rules and enforce the law. But I want them to behave in a normal, rational law enforcement manner.” Responding, host Stephanie Ruhle said, “Do you think it’s OK for ICE to be wearing these masks?”
Sen. Paul, for his part, bizarrely suggested that the only place that masks might be appropriate is actually along the border, as if cartels don’t exist in the interior of the country, saying, “I think that anonymity and wearing a mask leads to less responsible behavior. I’m not saying there might not be a value on the border where the cartels are running large and things are a little bit more murky, and mayors’ heads are being chopped off by the cartel. I have a little more sympathy there.”
Continuing, he angrily berated ICE agents for wearing masks in a city known for the massive number of gangsters within it, some of whom are cartel-connected, and entirely ignoring the threat posed by radical leftists to the ICE agents. He said, “The images where I’ve seen ICE agents in masks, in an elevator, in a courthouse in Chicago, I think are inappropriate. Look, the local police in Chicago, the bail of everybody else is unmasked.”
Still not done with his rambling diatribe about ICE agents protecting their identities in Chicago, the senator said, “I don’t know why we would have one group of men apprehending. The image I saw was arresting women and their children in an elevator in the courthouse in Chicago.”

Concluding, the senator kept up his attacks on ICE, despite all the good work the agents are doing to defend the country, saying, “I think one that reduces trust by the public but doesn’t seem appropriate. And I do think when you’re anonymous, like any time you’re anonymous, you tend to do things that you might not do if you were recognizable.”
