Agents hiding identities highlights illegitimacy of actions

*Mike German, an ex-FBI agent, said immigration agents hiding their identities [with masks and no badges] "highlights the illegitimacy of actions".*

He also explains how the masks put the public and also the cops in danger — that making it clear you're a cop is the foundation of safety practice. Also, how having thugs from outside ICE deputized to work with ICE can lead them to violate people's legal rights without realizing it, but also enable them to hide the violation.

German worked in the FBI to infiltrate right-wing militia groups. They may have been supporters of the wrecker, and may still be such. I speculate that he was fired this year precisely for having done that job. But I have no way of finding out.
