14. If these so called "agents" followed the rule of law, they wouldn't need to wear masks.

Having masked men kidnap people off the streets without a warrant is not the way it's done. Police can make an arrest without a warrant during the commission of a crime, but just grabbing people off the street is probably illegal.
Although there are some instances where this can be done without a warrant, the undocumented immigrant ploy doesn't justify the fishing expeditions that are so much a part of this operation.

The reality of the situation is that the government knows what it's doing is highly inflammatory; that's why they're doing it this way. They want to provoke people to violence so they can justify harsh responses from the government.
This is what Trump talked about when he said we wouldn't have to vote again....we won't be able to vote with martial law in place. And, this is the desired endpoint.

Mike Johnson's BS about masks is just another provocation.
