The Colorado Sun: A few days ago, I noticed a social media post from an acquaintance who was defending ICE officials wearing masks. It caught my attention because this person is married to a well-known Democratic personality and otherwise holds more liberal viewpoints.

And from what I’ve been told, that person also works with Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Not as an enforcement officer, but in a support role. It is a position they’ve had for years, not a part of the rapid expansion pushed by President Donald Trump and his administration.

The juxtaposition made me stop and reflect. Here was an otherwise liberal individual espousing a position absolutely despised by people on the left. Maybe I needed to be more open-minded? Maybe I needed to take a step back to foster understanding? Maybe the omnipresent masks were a necessity to perform legitimate duties?
