House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries kicked up the violent rhetoric a notch on Tuesday, vowing to unmask and reveal the identities of ICE agents already putting their lives on the line to protect the American people.
Jeffries' (D-NY) comments come just 24 hours after Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons explained that agents are wearing masks during raids because they are being doxxed online and inundated with death threats.
A reporter questioned Jeffries about the agents allegedly assaulted by Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-NJ) and those involved in the recent detainment of a staffer for Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) who was reportedly obstructing a search by "harboring rioters."
There is absolutely no mistaking the intent behind the congressman's comments.
“Every single ICE agent who’s engaged in this aggressive overreach and are trying to hide their identities from the American people, will be unsuccessful in doing that," he warned. "This is America. This is not the Soviet Union. We're not behind the Iron Curtain."
And the threat continued.
"This is not the 1930s, and every single one of them, no matter what it takes, no matter how long it takes, will, of course, be identified," Jeffries insisted.

I don't recall Jeffries and the Democrats demanding Antifa thugs be unmasked when they were terrorizing a Portland courthouse during the 'Summer of Love.'
And where was Dollar Store Obama when masked but "mostly peaceful™" protesters were burning cities across America during the race riots of 2020?
The Democrats are the party of forced masking, but suddenly, because people are trying to remove the violent criminals they let into the country, all while keeping themselves and their families safe, Jeffries won't stand for it.
Three letters are coming to mind. G, F, and Y. You can go ahead and put them in any order you'd like.
Making Hakeem's threat even more vile and sickening is that he made it just hours after Lyons explicitly explained why these agents are wearing masks.
🚨 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 said.
"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."
Jeffries knows this. He knows the threat they are under because one of his colleagues recently assaulted ICE agents - allegedly.
The contrast is pretty clear here. One side —the Trump administration —is for law enforcement and their safety. The other is practically begging for them to get killed.
