Trump's FBI arrests man handing out face shields to LA protesters - as ICE agents wear masks to cover their identities

Orellana’s arrest comes as federal law enforcement has faced continued criticism for its use of face masks during immigration arrests.

BUT THIS ARREST IS EXTREMELY QUESTIONABLE

ITS ONLY BECAUSE OF THIS NEW WACKO TRUMP APPOINTMENT
US ATTORNEY

Former Republican ASSHOLE Assemblyman Bill Essayli
is the US Attorney who is now charging this man


——

Oh, Somehow it’s “Ok” for the ICE Gestapo criminals in military goon gear abducting people off the streets to hide their faces from the public

No accountability for the ICE GESTAPO GOONS

“Wearing a mask to a protest isn’t illegal,..”

https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/06/criminalizing-masks-protests-wrong#:~:text=While%20members%20of%20the%20public,they%20arrest%20protesters%20and%20others.

While members of the public have a right to wear a mask when they protest, law enforcement officials should not wear a mask when they arrest protesters and others. An elementary principle of police accountability is to require uniformed officers to identify themselves to the public; this discourages officer misconduct, and facilitates accountability if an officer violates the law. This is one reason EFF has long supported the First Amendment right to record on-duty police, including ICE officers.

For these reasons, EFF believes it is wrong for state legislatures, and now federal law enforcement, to try to criminalize or punish mask wearing at protests. It is especially wrong, in moments like the present, where government it taking extreme measures to crack down on the civil liberties of protesters.
