Representative Dan Goldman (D-NY) said Thursday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that Homeland Security agents were using “Gestapo-like tactics” to arrest immigrants.
Goldman said, “I will be introducing a bill that will prevent Homeland Security officers from hiding or concealing their identities and wearing masks, because we don’t live in a country, an authoritarian country, where we have secret police who are masked, who are intimidating, who are scaring people. That’s the stuff of authoritarian states. That is not the stuff of the — that’s not how the United States operates. And that’s really where this is breaking down, is the combination of these Gestapo-like tactics with the fact that these are nonviolent, non-criminal immigrants doing things the right way and that’s why you’re seeing protests all around the country.”
He added, “It’s not that they’re protesting that people who have convicted convictions are being removed. They’re protesting that they’re going after all of our communities and they’re undermining the legal process. If you want to reform asylum, come talk to me. I would love to do that. It’s a broken process, but we have to follow the law. Donald Trump is not following the law. He is inciting more fear, more intimidation, using more intimidation, and he is trying to inflame a problem so that he can, in my view, say that this is an insurrection and that he can essentially say that the United States is a victim of some invasion and insurrection, which is completely bogus.”

“My friends in the Cartels would like to identify these agents so that MS-13 can threaten their families and/or murder the federal agents. I will be introducing a bill to facilitate this process.”
I really wish that every time they come out, the Emperor’s March proceeds them...
That's what the Democrats do. They lie. They are the people of the lie.
He’s just bloviating.....at this point the only lib media listening is pmsnbc and the communist news network
one of Americas self-hating Hews!
Why isn’t Trump out front beating the Democrats “defund the police” strategy?
EXACTLY!.........................
They wear the masks because unwashed liberals and illegal aliens smell like hot garbage in the hot early summer sun
If they are swept up in a raid and deported, they will lose the possibility of ever returning to the United States legally. People who have court dates and are regularly checking in with ICE but get swept up in a raid and detained, will eventually be released.
But the rest of the illegal immigrant community should be afraid and should consider self-deporting for the sake of their families.

What is “Gestapo” like? Are they speaking German? Do they reek of sauerkraut?
Will the bill also ban protesters from hiding their identity?
“non-criminal immigrants doing things the right way...”
<< “these are nonviolent, non-criminal immigrants doing things the right way and that’s why you’re seeing protests all around the country.” >>
Lies, and he knows it. It’s all the Left has.
Entering the country illegally is a Federal crime. That’s not doing things “the right way.” Plus a whole lot of them a violent criminals, identity thieves, and regular thieves. Deport every last one of them. All 50 mil+. Hopefully leftists will be so triggered they’ll follow them out in solidarity.
“I will be introducing a bill that will prevent Homeland Security officers from hiding or concealing their identities and wearing masks...”
Okay, so for every agent, the agent’s family, or property that is harmed by terroristic attacks, Goldman spends one week in jail and is open in court to be suede for fraud for failing to follow his oath of office to protect and serve. And for every terrorist that wears a mask in his home state, Goldman should forfeit $5 out of his pocket to the people of his state. If he is this confident that he can present a bill like this putting people in danger, he should have no worry about the retaliation. Put up or shut up is right.

Maybe Trump could have Ton Homan and Kristi Noem masks manufactured and sold off the DHS website for Halloween.
Drop Goldman into Gaza.
Will those burning cars, burning and looting stores, and attacking officers burn books next?
If the DHS is using Gestapo-like tactics,as Goldman suggests, then it follows that the Gestapo was quite benign.
Will the bill also ban protesters from hiding their identity?
Sick of these dems!
