Johnson slams Dems’ ICE mask hypocrisy: ‘People who mandated mask wearing for years’

parliament Speaker Mike Johnson Fox News on Friday told the Democrats who are pushing ice agents to reveal themselves the same “people who have cost the mask wearing years in America” ​​during the Korona virus.

Johnson asked by Fox News about his reaction as “some Democrats, including [House Minority] leader [Hakeem] Jeffrez suggested that the ice factors arrested some of these immigrants should not wear masks. ”

Johnson said: “One of the people who commissioned the mask is to wear for years in America,” Johnson said. “They are trying to support the rule of law, and they do not want to target democratic activists. So I support any protocol.”

Jeffrez said on Tuesday that the ice agents trying to hide “their identities from the American people will not succeed in doing so” and they will all be identified “regardless of what it takes, regardless of the time it takes.”

The ICE official puts the politicians on the explosion, and asks them to “stop the exposure of my people”

Then Johnson was asked on Friday, “So you are fine with these agents who do not know themselves when they arrest immigrants?”

“Why? So they can target them?” He answered. “So that they can put their names and faces online and dox for them? This is what these activists do. So we have to protect those who protect our societies.

Johnson said: “It is ridiculous for anyone, members of Congress, or any other elected leader, to call ICE to try to do their job. They have made it difficult for them to do this for years, and I think it is very ridiculous,” Johnson said.

At his weekly press conference on Friday, Fox News asked Jeffrez if he was concerned that some ice agents put them or the safety of their families at risk.

“It seems to me that officials of the Ministry of Internal Security, including ICE, should be on the same standards as every other part of the application of the law in terms of transparency,” Democrat from New York said.

On the official X account for JeffRies, in September 2020, he wrote, “This is not complicated. We wear. A. MASK.”

Then about a year after August 2021, Jeffrez said, “Get pollination. He wore a mask. Crushing the virus.”

Two Democratic Senators from Virginia, Mark Warner and Tim Kane also wrote a letter last month to the Minister of Internal Security Christie Nom, Acting Director of Ice Todd Leon and other senior officials about the implementation of recent immigration in ICE “taking” an anxious and dangerous turn. ”

“All over the country and in Virginia, disguised ice officers and agents were without specifying a clear identity because law enforcement had arrested individuals in the streets and in sensitive locations, such as the courts. These measures endangered – they said to the targeted individuals, ice officers, and British who might misunderstand what is happening and trying to intervene,” they said.

Senate members added: “We urge you to direct ice employees and agents to define themselves immediately and clearly as law enforcement employees who carry out law enforcement procedures when arresting issues, and to reduce the use of facial covers during arrests and other implementation procedures to avoid mitigating and reducing the safety risk of the public.”

In August 2021, Kane also paid a mask that also wears, and writing in a Facebook post as “he is very concerned about the rapid rise in the changing infections in the Covid-19 Delta that we see via the Commonwealth” and that “we must do our best to help stop the spread of the virus and maintain ourselves and our loved ones, including guidelines CDC is like a jurisprudence, and collects gathering.

Warner added at that time: “People, let’s continue to protect ourselves by obtaining vaccination, concealment, and social distance so that we can safely return to all the activities we love.”
