LANSING, Mich. (Michigan News Source) – Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel recently signed a letter asking the U.S. Congress for increased funding to be used for security for federal judges.

“The letter highlights how judges are increasingly facing threats and hostile incidents targeting them, their families, and courthouse staff,” Nessel’s Dec. 11 press release stated.

However, Nessel did not show the same concern for safety of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in July. That’s when she co-led a coalition of 21 attorneys general sending a letter to Congress asking that ICE agents not be able to cover their faces to conceal their identities and requiring them to show their identification while working.

Critics accused Nessel of doxing ICE agents. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security said on Dec. 9 that “the extreme rhetoric of the news media, sanctuary politicians, and activists is leading directly to our law enforcement officers facing an 8,000% increase in death threats against them.”

Nessel defended her decision in July, saying “widespread, unchecked use of masks and plainclothes enforcement undermines democratic principles, erodes public trust, and invites civil rights abuses.”

She continued: “Normalizing the practice of using masked agents who do not identify themselves is not just a shocking escalation of unscrupulous police tactics – it also presents a significant danger for residents and officers alike,” Nessel said in a July press release. “It is only a matter of time before an officer is hurt resisting what appears to be a kidnapping, or before bad actors start simulating this behavior to apprehend whomever they want.”
