23. You do realize there are circumstances in which other groups wear masks?

Police can wear masks in some specific scenarios. SWAT teams because they use flashbangs. Some undercover agents will wear masks if they are in a public arrest to let them remain undercover. Same for special forces. Those instances are strictly limited.

If the limits of ICE wearing are the same as regular police and law enforcement, is that unacceptable? If not, why not?
