Rivera&#8217;s comment sparked widespread ridicule and backlash on social media, with users pointing out the hypocrisy given mask mandates during the COVID-19 pandemic and highlighting the many respectable professions that require masks, such as healthcare workers and factory employees. Many defended ICE agents, explaining that the masks are necessary for their safety and to protect their families from threats by drug cartels and violent extremists. The piece also frames the criticism of ICE agents as part of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/two-americas-dearborn-to-host-memorial-service-for-iranian-president\/\" title=\"Two Nations: Dearborn to Hold Memorial for Iranian President\">broader political tensions<\/a>, noting that while Democrats have demonized ICE, changes brought by Elon Musk&#8217;s acquisition of Twitter (now X) have reduced the ability of liberals to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/university-targets-christian-student-pays-the-price-when-she-takes-it-to-court\/\" title=\"University sued for targeting Christian student.\">censor dissenting opinions<\/a>, exposing comments like Rivera&#8217;s to public scrutiny and mockery.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_3)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Some people achieve fame and even rise to powerful positions despite the fact that no one takes them seriously.
