Donald Trump is barking over a proposed Democratic bill that would bar ICE and Border Patrol agents from wearing masks and covering their badges while on duty. 

He’s claiming that Democrats “must hate America” for pushing such a bill. Which is ironic, given that Trump has spent years cheerleading for an American immigration policy that borrows its aesthetics and tactics straight from the Ku Klux Klan, including the convenient use of masks to terrorize the vulnerable while staying anonymous.
