Deranged open borders Democrats are seemingly so determined to put the lives of our brave ICE agents in grave danger that they are willing to throw them behind bars. And they are not alone.

MLive reported on Thursday that Michigan House Democrats have introduced legislation that would bar law enforcement officials from concealing their faces on the job. Those who violate the proposed law would be charged with a misdemeanor, which carries a $1000 fine and up to 90 days in jail.

Yes, Democrats are threatening to lock up those trying to enforce immigration laws.

The Michigan House Democrats are comparing ICE agents masking up to safeguard their identities to “secret police” tactics. Here is what the bill’s sponsor, Rep. Betsy Coffia (D-Traverse City), told MLive:

For the average person, these incidents look like violent kidnappings. With this new federal tactic of wearing masks with no identification, there is no way for the public, the people being accosted or grabbed, or even local law enforcement and local, state elected leaders to know who these folks are.

It’s not clear why these Democrats feel that state law should prevail over federal law, but they don’t care about the Constitution or the rule of law to begin with.

Thankfully, Republicans did take back the State House during the last election cycle and will likely prevent this awful scheme from becoming law.

Newsweek notes that Democrats in California, New York, Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania have introduced bills that would require federal officers to display visible identification (no masks). While Republicans control the Pennsylvania State Senate and can block legislation, Democrats have free rein in the other three.

At the federal level, far-left Senators Alex Padilla (D-CA), Elissa Slotkin (D-MI), and Cory Booker (D-NJ) have introduced legislation that would accomplish the same dangerous goal.

As Breitbart reported, President Trump has spoken out about how hypocritical Democrats are on the issue of masks.

After all, Democrats don’t care when Antifa thugs wear face coverings to avoid identification and jail time.
