On Saturday, the governor signed a bill that prevents U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents and other law enforcement officials from wearing masks in his state. Symone Sanders Townsend said the situation reminded her of the HBO series “Watchmen.” In the show, Sanders Townsend said, masks “serve as a double-edged sword,” with vigilantes using them to protect their identities and police using them as a way to shield themselves from accountability. “I think about the fact that in a democracy, accountability should have a face,” she said. It’s not in secret.”“And when law enforcement dons masks and no insignia, honestly, the people then are unable to effectively hold them accountable,” Sanders Townsend said. However, Steele noted the White House has also often acted outside of the normal political process, testing the bounds of executive power.
