Way back in March,
you might remember a Turkish graduate student at Tufts was approached on the street by ICE agents who took her away screaming.
It was unsettling and it was made more so by the fact that those agents were wearing masks,
which people pointed out was not normal.

And why that concern so many people is coming up on Today Explained.
