President tells Republican senators that Easter is not a reason to leave Washington until Save America Act is passed Sign up for the Breaking News US email Donald Trump has said ICE agents did not need to wear masks when deployed at airports. ICE has repeatedly faced criticism for its agents hiding their faces during immigration raids. State officials across the US have said the face coverings add to a climate of fear in local communities and a lack of accountability. I am a BIG proponent of ICE wearing masks as they search for, and are forced to deal with, hardened criminals, many of whom were let into our Country by Sleepy Joe Biden and his wonderful “Border Czar,” Kamala (she never even went to the Border!), through their absolutely INSANE Open Border Policy.
