It is very clearly white supremacy. They detain U.S. citizens who look Hispanic or Arab, but don't detain white undocumented immigrants who have committed crimes.
The point I made to Marcus, the guy hassled by ICE/DHS was that the guys in masks were obviously ashamed of what they were doing -- hell, I would wear a mask, too, if I was doing that kind of work to conceal my shame. I noted that in the Westerns I watched as a kid, the bad guys usually wore masks when they were robbing the bank or the stagecoach, so it makes sense that people involved in crimes would try to hide their faces. But I did note, at the end of the video, that that cop that defused the situation was not wearing a mask, suggesting to me that he had nothing to hid as he was conducting his work honestly and with dignity and respect.
I suppose this might be the only work the masked guys could get, work that allowed them to behave like thugs, dress in in battle gear, and hide their faces as they round up the people who just bussed the tables at the local TexMex restaurant or groomed the sand trap at the nearby nine-hole muni. Yes, these are people to be feared as they are often armed with weed-wackers and leaf-blowers. Indeed, I can see why the ICE dudes conceal their faces...
