The US Air Force has directed personnel engaged in deportation flights to remove their names and unit patches from their uniforms, because ……… They know that they are treating deportees in a brutal and unlawful manner, and do not want any consequences to result:
Air Force crew members and security forces on deportation flights are not wearing their name tape or unit patches, contributing to a lack of transparency as the service obscures details of its involvement in the border mission from the public.
The Air Force is the only one of the military branches involved in President Donald Trump's mandated border mission to not disclose publicly the number of service members or what units they're coming from, citing safety and security concerns, an Air Force spokesperson told Military.com.
"Aircrew are removing name tapes and unit patches but will keep U.S. Flag, U.S. Air Force tape and rank on their uniform," the Air Force spokesperson told Military.com. "The identity of those supporting deportation flights is being protected to ensure the safety and security of our service members."
No, you are destroying evidence of criminality in real time.

Dan Grazier, a senior fellow with the National Security Reform Program at the Stimson Center think tank in Washington, D.C., told Military.com the Air Force removing name tapes and patches was strange. Grazier, a former Marine Corps officer who served tours during the Global War on Terrorism, said he was never asked to remove those items.
"This is very unusual, because when I deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan, nobody ever asked me to, or nobody ever ordered me to, strip off my insignia or name tapes," Grazier said. "So it seems really odd that the Air Force is doing this for missions here in the United States."
No, this is not odd at all. They are expecting their personnel to engage in criminal behavior against deportees, and as such, they are covering it up.
