Watch: Acting ICE Head Eviscerates New Dem/Media Talking Point About Agents Wearing Masks

Enough is enough.

Democrats have been demonizing and whipping up anger against ICE and other federal agents trying to do their jobs for immigration enforcement. It's despicable what they have been doing.

They've had people like Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY) referring to them as "Gestapo." Goldman also attacked ICE and federal agents for wearing masks during immigration enforcement. He even questioned them for wearing plain clothes in a bizarre attack - as though police marking down a suspect would/should wear police outfits that would scare off the person they're trying to arrest.

But Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons is taking those crying about "masks" to task with a little reality.

🚨 WATCH: Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons returned to the press conference on Operation Patriot when a reporter asked why ICE agents wear masks:

"People are out there taking photos of the names and their faces and posting them online with death threats to their family and to themselves," Lyons emphasized, explaining just one incident in Los Angeles where officers were doxxed after an operation. He was upset that they would be put in that position.

"So I'm sorry if people are offended by them wearing masks, but I'm not going to let my officers and agents go out there and put their lives on the line, their family on the line because people don't like what immigration enforcement is."

He wanted to know why the media was asking about masks, and not about the threats to the ICE officers and their families.

"Is that the issue here, or is anyone upset with the fact that ICE officers' families were labeled as terrorists?" he declared with great emotion.

Lyons is right, and the Democrats should be ashamed of what they are helping to incite here. They want to attack Trump and they don't care about the consequences of what they are doing. And why isn't the media pressing the Democrats on that, how wrong it is to attack law enforcement that way? Or do they only care about whatever the current Democratic talking point of the day is?

How about ICE stops wearing masks when the Democrats and the left stop their disgusting demonization of law enforcement? How about Democrats support our personnel more than they support illegal aliens?

I don't remember hearing Goldman and other Democrats upset with ICE having an issue with the masks worn by Antifa/leftist rioters.

Once again, Democrats are diving into the wrong side of an 80/20 issue, but this also can have bad consequences for the people who are trying to do their best to enforce the law for all of us. If they had a conscience, they would be ashamed of what they are doing here.

Thanks to President Trump, illegal immigration into our great country has virtually stopped. Despite the radical left's lies, new legislation wasn't needed to secure our border, just a new president.
