ICE agents are masked to avoid civil liability.

It’s not fear or threats. It’s simply so ICE can make warrantless illegal arrests of US citizens and not be identified for process. This is how they circumvent accountability and take away the rights of citizens to seek redress in court for the unconstitutional deprivation of rights guaranteed under both state and federal constitutions.

The GOP doesn’t believe in accountability and doesn’t believe the government owes the citizens any accountability or legal redress.

I have a question about what constitutes an attack on 'federal immigration enforcement officers': if they are treating someone roughly, and the victim ends up with some skin under their finger nails, can lawyers demand that DNA material be preserved for trials? How would that work, IF it would work?

There MUST be accountability. Can we unmask people attacking us so witnesses can photograph these thugs?

Defendants at trial have a right to know the names of the arresting officer, it's part of the constitutional right to "be confronted with the witnesses" as guaranteed by the Sixth Amendment.
