MSNBC Analyst Says Feds Wearing Masks Led to Escalated Rhetoric Ahead of Deadly ICE Shooting
MSNBC’s Rosa Flores said viral videos of ICE officials wearing masks and “tossing” suspected illegal immigrants into vehicles contributed to the “very divisive” atmosphere before a shooting at an ICE facility in Texas on Wednesday.

Flores, while appearing on Ana Cabrera Reports, had just heard law enforcement officials and state politicians comment on the attack at a press conference. Three people were shot at the facility, including two people fatally, and all were reportedly detainees.

One FBI official said rounds found near the suspected shooter contained “anti-ICE messages,” while Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) ripped Democrats, urging them to accept “your political opponents are not Nazis,” before saying both Dems and Republicans should have “some decency” to say “this violence is wrong and it needs to stop.”
