Mike Johnson Offers Bizarre Justification For ICE Masks. Backlash Follows.
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) faced criticism after he defended the wearing of masks by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents during immigration raids. Johnson was asked by Fox News to respond to concerns from Democrats who say ICE agents shouldn't conceal their identities while conducting arrests as part of the Trump administration's immigration crackdown. 'From the people who mandated mask-wearing for years in America, it's absurd,' Johnson fired back, referencing the face-covering measures that Democrats implemented during the coronavirus pandemic in a bid to stop the spread of COVID-19. 'They need to back off of ICE and respect our agents and stop protesting against them,' he added, arguing that agents would be doxed if they were able to be identified. Critics pointed out the irony of Johnson's acceptance of agents wearing masks, given his history of opposing mask mandates for medical reasons, and suggested he had conjured up an extreme example of false equivalence. Agents should be able to be held accountable, they argued. Johnson was also criticized over the weekend for dismissing concerns about Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's talk of active-duty Marines tackling protests against immigration enforcement in Los Angeles. 'I don't think that's heavy-handed,' Johnson said.

LA Violence Escalates as Trump's Deportation Raids Spark Anger
Los Angeles has become the fulcrum of discontent over US President Donald Trump's hardline immigration policies. Anti-deportation protests stretched into a third day, with clashes between law enforcement and demonstrators. Trump deployed the National Guard and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth floated sending in Marines if protests intensify. Both got strong pushback from California Governor Gavin Newsom, who urged the White House to rescind the order to send troops. With Trump focused on his immigration agenda, ICE has ramped up arrests in recent weeks, averaging about 2,000 detentions per day nationwide — still falling short of the government's goal of at least 3,000 daily arrests. The protests in Los Angeles erupted in response to the sweeping deportations and were inflamed by the arrival of the troops. Trump responded by describing the unrest as an attack on immigration enforcement efforts.
