Concealment of identity: The hoods and robes provided anonymity for Klansmen performing acts of violence and intimidation, allowing them to evade identification and potential prosecution.

This current ICE version has the added appearance of state-sponsored authority with the use of overwhelming military force aimed at everyone, not just people of color.
Many members of these goon squads must also wish to hide what they are doing from their family members. They know their children might hate them if they knew they were willing to commit such evil acts each day on their horrible jobs.
