One can only imagine there is a significant lack of oxygen in Sacramento, which contributes to irrational thinking. The laws that come out of their statehouse are positively stupid.
The law is total BS. I can’t wait to see what happens the first time state police try to arrest a federal agent for wearing a mask while doing his job. I just don’t think it’s going to happen because local police know exactly why they’re wearing the masks to begin with. Most of them remember just a few years back when they were the targets of BLM and antifa and can sympathize with them or at least I hope they do and refuse to arrest and charge them just like they refuse to arrest and charge shoplifters with less than $950 of merchandise in their arms. California has lost its collective minds.
Legitimate police don’t need masks, why should ICE agents? I believe the purpose of SB 627 was to make people accountable for their actions. When I see a person thrown to the ground and attacked by an ICE agent, I’d like to see that officer held accountable.
That’s really easy for you to say Michael because if your identity is found out, no one is threatening your family. You know the reasons they’re putting those masks on and you also know it’s because it’s the leftist radicals that are putting the men that keep us safe in dangeras well as their families. If you can’t see this reality, then you do not see reality.
So I’m concerned that ICE officers can be plainclothes, not have identifying information on their clothing, not identify themselves, be wearing a mask, and just haul people away. That lets any yahoo just cosplay with a mask on claim they are ICE.
So if some guy in regular clothes and a mask and some amazon zip ties shows up and throws a girl in the back of a van, we should assume it’s fine? Mask or no mask, either way there should be a way to lawfully recognize and identify who these people are.
Hi Aaron. The scenario you present should not be taken lightly and I believe that the present administration is doing its best to prevent that sort of situation from occurring. I can, however, see the reasoning behind the no mask policy. In our internet society it is not hard to find out where people live and with groups like Antifa that have a big pocketbook to support their agenda, these agents and their families could be put at great risk. The idea that Trump is creating a secret police to take over America would have been much more believable under Biden's administration and is a ploy by the left to frighten and divide people.. As a political conservative (meaning the less government the better) I think the cleaning up of our corrupt government that has been an ongoing occurrence for many, many years, has to happen before our country is completely destroyed but along with that we all must be vigilant that American's citizenry is protected under the laws of our Constitution.
"When I see a person thrown to the ground and attacked by an ICE agent, I’d like to see that officer held accountable." What persoare you referring to Michael? Be specific. Are you referring to the individuals who are either being arrested based on existing court orders and resisting or are you referring to the individuals who are trying to obstruct law-enforcement conducting their legitimate function? In any case, they should expect whatever response is required including being throw onto the ground, so be it. Did you watch the LA riots..or the carnival in Carpinteria and Camarillo where our own disgraced Congressman Carbajal sided with those breaking the law? Whose side were you on?
There are good guys and bad guys and the bad guys are not wearing badges. Tom Holman from the outset indicated there would be problems like the confrontations being shown on television if other entities, cities, states, etc., did not cooperate with, and in fact obstructed, enforcement of the law. That is what is occurring. If you are uncomfortable with that, then maybe you should look at the source. 99%+ of these officers are showing way more control and restraint than many of us would.
Simple question: do you agree with enforcing existing immigration laws?? Obviously you don't agree with officers wearing masks. Do you agree with law-enforcement wearing bullet proof protection while executing their duties? I hope you see the correlation.
It is outrageous that law enforcement must be subjected to not only verbal but also physical abuse as well, while concurrently having our own citizens cheering on the perps and pretending law enforcement are bad guys. Classic for those on the Left...eveeything is 180 degrees. And you are worried about masks ????
I like masks. They immediately identify a reasonable or unreasonable person. Or someone with an emotional/mental illness.
The other night at the SB Bowl a young couple came in with masks. They proceeded to not social distance and after stepping on my toes to get to their seats they sat down. After about 30 minutes they took their masks off.
Meanwhile surrounded less than arm’s length on all sides by thousands of people cheering, singing, etc..,
Concert ended, they put their masks on and waded through the crowd.
My wife prevented me from asking them, out of genuine curiosity, why they bother wearing a mask.
Many times people wear masks for consideration of others. They may have a cold or flu or respitory infection and want to avoid infecting other people. This is different from wearing a mask to protect your identity.
Surprisingly, the forced masking of women in the form of Burkas, as part of a repressive campaign in the Muslim world continues. Why do western governments continue to allow this? Why does human rights groups continue to remain silent in this control waged by men over women?
As for masks being used in the US, it was during a time which understandably, introduced by health officials to prevent the spread of an unknown pathogen, which was later found to be COVID. It has now morphed into the attire for thugs to murder, rob and commit mayhem in typically, inner city hell holes. The overwhelming majority being Democratic controlled.
OMG, are you still going on about Fauci and Biden and masks? Are you still raising the alarm bells about antifa? What does antifa stand for, Brent? Where is their headquarters? There is none. It’s a shorthand for people who call themselves anti-fascists. And do you recall who the main fascists were in the 20th century? And HOW they took over their countries? And do you recall the techniques they used with secret police, Gestapo, and unlawful intimidation, disappearances, “detention centers,” so-called arrests, but without any “due process”— on which our country was built? What kind of lawyer would want to live in a country where federal agents wear masks, baklavas, sunglasses, and are armed to the teeth while they snatch poor defenseless civilians and CITIZENS from the streets, from in front of schools, immigration offices, or workplaces? 90% of the folks being stuffed into unmarked vans have no criminal convictions or a criminal records. While at the same time over 900 violent criminals who attacked our nations capital and the Capitol police force are pardoned and let go? And while white collar fraudsters are released and pardoned after making political contributions to our dear leader? Where blatant bribery charges against the chief ICE leader are “dropped?” Where is the law and order in that?
Why do doctors and nurses wear surgical masks in hospitals and clinics? Do you want your heart surgeon to take off his mask during your operation, Brent? That whole line of thinking about public wearing of surgical masks is so passé now. Let people wear them if they want to. Dang!
But we don’t want law-enforcement to hide behind masks and fail to identify themselves. That is not America, that is not the country that my father fought World War II to preserve. We are slowly turning into an Orwellian nightmare, or a version of 1937 Germany, with thinking like yours.
J.C. Daniels, any relation to Jack Daniels? I ask because you sound under the influence.
Your comments are not only ridiculous, but moronic as well. No one is being arrested that doesn’t have a warrant or here illegally and in the presence of a wanted criminal. As for Antifa, find them, expose them, find their funding, arrest and convict them.
BTW, my Dad was in WWII as well, was almost killed, and received the Bronze Star. He would be disgusted as to the criminal enterprise the Democratic Party has become. Federal prosecutors are in the process of connecting the dots between terrorist groups like Antifa, left wing NGO’s and the mayhem unleashed on our inner cities. Stay tuned, cheers!
Hey, elce, if your "devastating new information coming out about Jan 6" concerns the rumored 275-ish undercover FBI agents who where purportedly fomenting the J6 "tourists" to storm the Capitol, you can forget about it. Kash Patel has already squashed those rumors as a blatant fabrication. Yet again.
Cool thing about The Silent War is that Trump is forcing the Deep State to drop their masks…[their] greatest fear —> Public Exposure!
Masks for C19 have been proven ineffective, kinda like putting up a chain link fence around one’s property to keep the mosquitoes out…
Masks for law enforcement, unfortunately, have become necessary in order to protect officers & their families from being doxxed & harmed…
Masks for the street thugs (thanks George) are used to hide behind the curtain, while stirring hate & discord…
PS…the other cool thing about The Silent War, future generations will asked parents & grandparents what they did during the battles to save humanity…will You stand or sit idly?
You mean you weren't deeply moved by Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner's daughter, Violet Affleck, pleading to the UN on behalf of mask mandates? Because she has brain fog from long term Covid. And if only everyone would wear a mask, Violet would no longer have to suffer. In fact, there would be an end to suffering in the world. Give that girl the Greta Thunberg Humanitarian award! At least she's not a celebrity trans-nepo baby. These days I'm thankful for tiny favors from the lib left celebrities.
Here is a situation analysis. Three federal ICE officers go about their official, lawful business wearing masks permitted under federal law. How many times does anybody really think that members of the Santa Barbara Police Department or Sherriff's Department are going to try to arrest ICE officers for wearing masks while doing their lawful jobs? Especially, when removing them would put the ICE officers' lives at risk. Non-cooperation is one thing, overt interference in federal agents doing their legal duty is a federal crime.
J.C.Daniels - We need your source for your erroneous, untrue posted statement “90% of the folks being stuffed into unmarked vans have no criminal convictions or a criminal records.”
Moreover, ICE uniforms identify agents not working undercover. Take a day to experience the dangers, the threats, the actual harm done to ICE Agents enforcing laws passed by We The People — our Congress and signed by past Presidents.
Note: I want to contribute to the ICE Mask & bullet proof protection fund; PLUS to life & disability policies for each Agent’s family.
Democrat LBJ, mentored by FDR, quickened the downhill speed of our national destruction in 1965 with changes to immigration laws that ‘forever’ changed America; by ‘forever’, I mean unless and until we elect Congressional Reps interested in our country rather than their personal gain.
Elect reps who will legislatively address immigration matters rather than avoid them. As an illegal arrival himself, Congressional Rep Salud Carbajal has only supported increased legalization of millions here unlawfully, at the expense of those waiting in line and every American taxpayer. Boot Salud. He’s pensioned.

There is no valid test. The whole of virology is pseudoscience. Mythical virus particles have never been proven to make anyone sick. All electron photos that we are shown are the result of cell breakdown in a cell culture...not the cause. Called the cytopathic effect. The flu is nothing more than a detox process...what our bodies do best. See my Substack for more information. Take your time....and come to your own conclusions. Cheers.
The bottom line is the Democrat Party has become a radical socialist party that wants to portray everyone that is against their statements as the Bad Guy's.........
They have lost. Newsom and the Dem's are really starting to become irrelevant both as a political party and a group. Their only answer to criminals, illegals, massive deficit spending and high density infill 7 and 8 story buildings where the locals don't want them (all of the above) is to say to heck with reality.
So my answer to these radicals is "Oh Pancho, Oh Cisco" we are the good guys and just because you have hidden you true identities behind masks of deception doesn't make you any cleaner.
The honesty and open give and take of Old California is gone and you are the reason.
One can only imagine there is a significant lack of oxygen in Sacramento, which contributes to irrational thinking. The laws that come out of their statehouse are positively stupid.
This law is specifically to put our law enforcement officers in danger, Period!

Me too - by giving him a medal.
" . . . police don't need masks, why should ICE agents?" Police don't make and carry out federal laws that the Commie-jerks don't like.

You may be correct. I have noticed when making doctors appointments that several ask you to wear a mask when you come.
The point is, there is a difference between wearing a mask for safety reasons and wearing a mask to conceal your identity.
First provide scientific proof of claim wrt viruses and related contagion.
Surprisingly, the forced masking of women in the form of Burkas, as part of a repressive campaign in the Muslim world continues. Why do western governments continue to allow this? Why does human rights groups continue to remain silent in this control waged by men over women?

Please remember to vote out the Democrats at the next election!
Who is this masked man from Lompoc?
Oh that is right he has a spine and without a mask has taken on the establishment Left.
Good to see you
