Never in American history have we had a police force that routinely conceals agents’ names and identities – until now. We dug into government documents, court filings, and hundreds of on-the-ground videos to understand not only why ICE wears masks, but the deeper agenda behind the agency’s increasingly violent tactics.
This video would not have been possible without reporting by ProPublica, NBC News, CBS News, the Guardian, the Washington Post, the New York Times, the New Republic, the Charlotte Observer, the Chicago Tribune and Sun-Times, David J. Bier, and others.
