- ICE director affirms policy allowing agents to wear masks during arrest operations — Todd Lyons, acting director of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, stated on CBS Face the Nation that he will continue permitting ICE officers to wear masks during arrest raids, citing officer safety and doxxing concerns. Legal advocates, state attorneys general, and civil rights groups have challenged the practice as obscuring accountability, enabling impersonation, and contributing to a climate of fear. The policy has coincided with record deportation enforcement under the Trump administration.
