Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-Mo.) WORRIED people will "find out where" ICE goons live if they take off their masks

[Miles Archer]

WASHINGTON — Congress has yet to pass the bipartisan deal President Donald Trump struck with Senate Democrats to avert another government shutdown, but lawmakers are already at war over a key part of the package: a two-week negotiation over reforms to ICE following a pair of deadly shootings in Minnesota.

Republicans are flatly opposed to many of Democrats’ demands, such as ensuring federal agents properly identify themselves and take off their masks when interacting with the public, as well as limiting the use of administrative warrants to enter homes during immigration raids.

“They’ll find out where they live, they’ll harass their families, or worse,” Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-Mo.) told reporters on Monday. “I’m not interested in empowering these people who are hell bent on ending deportations altogether. I want the officers to be safe. I want the protesters to be safe. And there’s a way to do that, which is: don’t interfere with the operations of ICE.”

1. Republicans want to protect murderous thugs empowered by trump and themselves...

In my mind this makes them equal in criminality to the ICE creeps...disgusting...

[haele]

2. Ohhh..kay.

They never seemed to have had to worry about that before.
Just saying.

3. it's because then they might hesitate to brutalize the public

and brutalizing the public is apparently the whole point

[kacekwl]

4. Yea there is a way to do that,

Follow the law and use your humanity. Get proper warrants and use them to arrest the worst of the worst like you lied you would. Then they might be cheered not hated.

5. Hey, Schmitt-for-Brains! Maybe if the agents conducted themselves according to the LAW.......

it WOULDN'T MATTER where they lived!! Being who and what you are (an idiot), I suppose you never thought of that.

6. Oh boo hoo! They might live in FEAR?!?!?

Cry me a river, fuckers!!

[ecstatic]

7. why do they want ice to be unaccountable?

Every other so called law enforcement officer has to show his/her face. When LEOs are caught harming civilians, they are ID'd and held accountable. That's the way it works in this country.

What in the fuck is wrong with these republicans?

They really think this shit can't happen to them. Keep in mind, the ranks of ICE are being filled with criminals so eventually everyone, including people with white skin, will be targeted as ICE thugs get accustomed to operating with impunity.

8. This is not a thing and we should not allow them to speak this nonsense into existence

Public employees are known. It's as simple as that. We have laws on the books to protect federal agents, employees, and officials.

9. 'Theyll find out where they live, theyll harass their families...'

Ohhh..is the widdle SS enabler gonna have a sad that other people might treat his gestapo THE SAME WAY THEYVE BEEN TREATING THE REST OF US?!

he can go get fucked, what a worthless little bitch-baby.

If we go the their house, WE'RE not gonna kick the door in, and drag them out screaming into the street WITHOUT A WARRANT.
What a dense motherfucker he is..
Really?
Fucking REALLY?

10. People make excuses when they can't make a difference.

11. If they weren't doing something wrong, he could lay his puny head on his pillow without a worry in the world.

12. Schmitt is an out right fascist

And has pretty much said white people have more of a claim to citizenship than others.

Missouri, the new motto should be “show me a state where we elect complete fucking idiots”.

Who’s worse? Him or Hawley? Wow, the state used to elect some decent reps and senators.
