These days, sharing opinions online is a surefire way to get angry people in your comments, no matter which "side" you're on. And commenting on the current protests in L.A. in any capacity will certainly get you a response.
"The Architect" singer posted on X, saying, "If protesters can't wear masks ICE shouldn't be able to either."
Protesters clashed with ICE agents in Paramount, Los Angeles, after they conducted raids in the city to arrest unauthorized immigrants. During the raids, which resulted in over 100 arrests in the prominently Latino city, ICE agents wore masks, which sparked a heated debate and the protests.
Whether the ICE agents were concealing their identity, engaging in intimidation tactics, or both, have been the topic of this ruthless debate. The cherry on top, however, is Donald Trump saying that masks are not to be worn by protestors.
Permitting the usage of masks by ICE agents but not by protestors is a hypocrisy to Kacey Musgraves, who clearly stated her opposition on this matter.
However, many people came forward to criticize her for this stance.

Many people opposed Musgraves and took to the comments to say so.
"Please they are law enforcement! They are not the perpetrators!" exclaimed one.
"Kacey you're from Texas. Don't embarrass us," states another.
"Do you people think before you just blurt out nonsense?" questioned one more.
Although most attacked Musgraves for her stance, some sided with her.
"YES. Thanks for continuing to use your platform to stand up for what's right," supported one.
"No government employee or contractor operating in the US should be allowed to use a mask to conceal their identity when carrying out the work funded by taxpayer money," agreed another.
"Anyone being paid by taxpayers should not be masked," wrote one more.
