> ICE agents are masked because people think they can violently interfere with federal law enforcement

Not a problem for all other law enforcement. The precedent being set--that masked men can disappear people from the street--is dangerous and un-American.

> People voted for the guy that promised mass deportations, and the government is entitled to carry out that policy and respond to violent resistance to those operations

Sure. None of this requires a mask.

Also, the only injuries ICE officers have suffered have been due to e.g. being dragged by a car [1]. None have been due to someone tracking them down ex post facto.

> Megyn is reacting to people trying to smear Trump as a “child rapist” and “pedophile” based on zero evidence

She argued Jeffrey Epstein is not technically a pedophile. (A defense she similarly mounts with zero evidence.) She described a 15-year old as "barely legal," which is nonsense and disgusting and deeply unsettling given she literally has a daughter around that age.

And until now, Trump has been going out of his way to block the government from fulfilling his campaign promise around the Epstein files. (After his AG lied that they don't exist.) As a result, it took Democrats in the Congress releasing the e-mails to get Larry Summers to step down [2].
