ICE Sets The Record Straight On LA Mayor Karen Bass’ ‘Fearmongering’ About Masked Officers
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on Thursday blasted Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass’ recent rant about ICE agents wearing masks during raids on illegal immigrants.
Bass had recently announced that her office is filing a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) to discover the identities of ICE agents working to detain illegal immigrants in California, later posting a clip of the MSNBC interview on X with the question, “Who are these masked men going around our city, snatching people off the streets?” ICE responded on the social media platform that the officers in question “wear masks because rhetoric like [Bass’] has ramped up threats and assaults against their families.”
ICE’s official X account stated further that its agents are “doing their job and detaining illegal aliens who broke immigration law.” ICE also demanded Bass stop “fearmongering for political attention.”
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) recently announced that assaults against ICE officers and Immigration enforcement have risen almost 700% this year. DHS Secretary Kristi Noem added on Tuesday that the number has now risen to an 830% increase of assaults on ICE agents compared with the same time last year.
Bass has been an avid opponent of U.S. Customs and immigration policy in California, recently filing a lawsuit against the Trump administration for Los Angeles ICE raids. She even showed up at a July 7 immigration raid at Los Angles’ MacArthur Park, telling reporters that the government agents “need to leave and they need to leave right now!”
An official member of Bass’ administration has links to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), the Daily Caller News Foundation recently discovered.
Bass and other California officials have frequently faced criticism for failing reconstruction efforts after California wildfires destroyed thousands of homes in January.

Bass should be arrested for obstructing the operations of Federal Law Enforcement Officers. It’s obvious to anyone with common sense that ICE agents are wearing masks because Democrats like Bass are putting the agents and their families lives in danger by comparing them to Nazi’s and encouraging “doxing” them and exposing their identities. How ironic that Bass and Newsom were the same ones that encouraged locking people up for walking alone “maskless” on the beach during COVID and permanently dumbed down their constituents children by keeping them locked up for 2 years. And now they are openly against deporting illegal criminals; including murderers, rapists and child predators and sex traffickers. Just reason number 1001 to never ever vote for a lying, anti-American Democrat ever again.
