Judge Young launches into a tirade against ICE; Acting Director Lyons' testimony was "disingenuous, squalid and dishonorable," that "ICE goes masked for a single reason — to terrorize Americans into quiescence," and that "ICE brings indelible [disgrace] to this admin[] and everyone who works in it."
![And there’s the issue of masks. This Court has listened carefully to the reasons given by Öztürk’s captors for maskingup and has heard the same reasons advanced by the defendant Todd Lyons, Acting Director of ICE. It rejects this testimony as disingenuous, squalid and dishonorable. ICE goes masked for a single reason -- to terrorize Americans into quiescence. Small wonder ICE often seems to need our respected military to guard them as they go about implementing our immigration laws. It should be noted that our troops do not ordinarily wear masks. Can you imagine a masked marine? It is a matter of honor -- and honor still matters. To us, masks are associated with cowardly desperados and the despised Ku Klux Klan. In all our history we have never tolerated an armed masked secret police. Carrying on in this fashion, ICE brings indelible obloquy to this administration and everyone who works in it. “We can not escape history,” Lincoln righty said. “[It] will light us down in honor or dishonor, to the latest generation.” Abraham Lincoln, Second Annual Message to Congress (Dec. 1, 1862).](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2vtbmhmrwzbqcfv4we4uxzzt/bafkreifdibcmgjgha2hq3v5sf5kxim342dql3kzboym4ylfpo6jxkunke4@jpeg)

Trump doesn’t care what ordinary Americans think. Stupid premise.

I will not “celebrate” July 4. Maybe never again. There is no independence from the cruelty and tyranny soaked in fake patriotism.
