Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons returned to a press conference on Operation Patriot, appearing riled up and emotional when a reporter asked why ICE agents were wearing masks.
Storming back into the room Lyons said he was going to take the question on masks before announcing ICE officers had been photographed and doxxed, saying: "People are out there taking photos of the names and their faces and posting them online with death threats to their family."
This comes in the wake of the Trump administration's increased crackdown on illegal immigrants in the United States and continued controversy around deported individuals such as Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
