Ah yes, Sean Casten protecting the people of Downers Grove from ICE.
I am embarrassed for the people of Downers Grove that they elected this genius.

Fake news cop haters at Block Club intentionally forget to mention the reason for masks — a 700 percent increase in attack on ICE agents — including 2 shootings at ICE facilities in Texas — all of which are being coordinated by Democrat Party operatives.

I believe doxxing in Illinois is illegal. ICE agents have been doxxed in various places in the country, hence the masks. Would IL even prosecute a ICE doxxer, given who our attorney general is?

When are they going to outlaw criminals and protesters from wearing masks? Fair is fair. Politicians need to stop advocating for violence against ice agents.

But let the violent, destructive ANTIFA crowd run around with masks because it’s their right to do so.
