We Asked DHS if Federal Agents Wore Horror Masks on Raids. They Responded ‘Happy Halloween!

“They have fun while doing it, which is deeply disturbing. We expect some level of decorum from government officials,” says Phoebe, a member of Harbor Area Peace Patrols, who snapped the photo of the masked agents driving out of San Pedro on Tuesday morning.

Individuals wearing Halloween masks were observed by Harbor Area Peace Patrollers as they were leaving Terminal Island on Tuesday morning. This is the same area where DHS has been staging since immigration raids started.

L.A. TACO requested comment from the Department of Homeland Security on the use of Halloween masks by these federal immigration agents. 

The following comment from Tricia McLaughlin, Assistant Secretary of Homeland Security for Public Affairs, was received in response by L.A. TACO:

“Happy Halloween!”
