CA Reps. Dave Min and Derek Tran Join Other Democrats Trying to Unmask ICE Agents

ICE agents wear masks primarily for their safety, as they face threats and harassment from the public, including doxing and death threats against their families, the Globe reported in June.

But Democrats are now pushing for ICE agents and members of law enforcement to unmask themselves at a time when ICE and other law enforcement are being violently attacked.

Attacks on ICE agents are up nearly 700% compared to last year, in many cases by masked protestors.

California State Senators Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco) and Jesse Arreguin (D-Berkeley) are the authors of Senate Bill 627, the “No Secret Police Act” to prohibit law enforcement at all levels – local, state and federal – from covering their faces while conducting operations in the state of California.

Democrat politicians propose to put ICE agents in harms way; they want to unmask ICE agents, to expose their faces and name badges to the radical, violent protestors who dox them online.

In the last week, there were two ambushes on ICE agents in Texas. In San Francisco and Los Angeles, ICE agents were violently protested, attacked, and protestors brought tire spikes to protests to damage ICE vehicles.

So what do elected Democrats do?

They push to unmask the federal agents who choose to cover their faces to prevent doxxing. But masked looters, masked Antifa, and protestors wearing masks and the keffiyeh are okay. Democrats are attempting to strike fear in ICE agents – it’s a form of terrorism being done by politicians who swore an oath to uphold the Constitution.

A similar bill authored by U.S. Senators Alex Padilla (D-CA) and Cory Booker (D-NJ) was introduced Tuesday in the U.S Senate, also signed by Senators Blumenthal, Booker, Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), Hirono, Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.), Murray, Jacky Rosen (D-Nev.), Schiff, Smith, Van Hollen, Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.), Welch, and Wyden.

This is quite ironic since U.S. Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA) deliberately did not have his US Senate pin on as required, when he barged into Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s press conference recently, and tried to rush the podium while she was talking.

In the House, California Reps. Dave Min and Derek Tran cosponsored H.R.4176, the “No Secret Police Act of 2025” which would remove the protections, like masks, that ICE personnel wear to prevent being doxed.

If that’s not enough anti-police legislation, Rep. Dave Min introduced an amendment to the One Big Beautiful Bill that would have similarly prohibited ICE agents from protecting themselves from being doxed.

Both Min and Tran also voted against a bill that would deport illegal immigrants with DUIs. This could be personal for Min because he’s still on probation for his own DUI in California.

ICE, CPB, and other law enforcement clearly face serious threats to their lives and Rep. Dave Min and Rep. Derek Tran are clearly working to make it even more dangerous.

Ironically, these are the same people who mandated masks on everyone’s faces in California, including babies and children, during the coronavirus flu outbreak, while locking 4o0 million people down for 3 years.

It’s as nutty as California Governor Gavin Newsom calling President Donald Trump an authoritarian, when Newsom ordered California locked down for 3 years, mandated masks, social distancing and the covid shot, to go back to work and school.

Democrats are authoritarian bullies who have no problem with their protesting/rioting/looting thugs wearing masks but not law enforcement who are trying to protect the public.

As one Globe reader recently asked, “Shouldn’t elected public ‘servants’ be accessible to their constituency?”
