I think the complete anonymity of the ICE costume is by design from the top, to suppress individual reluctance to obey orders. Think of the speech Marcellus Wallace gives Butch about throwing the fight:

"Now, the night of the fight you might feel a slight sting. That’s pride, fucking with you. Fuck pride. It only hurts, it never helps. Fight through that shit, because a year from now when you’re kicking it in the Caribbean, you’re gonna say Marsellus Wallace was right.”

Pride pushes a thug's buttons when he's doing something he wouldn't do if everybody knew it was him doing it. With that uniform he can step out of himself and just be the job. If anything he does bothers them later he can always just get drunk. Right now he can think about next year when he's kicking it in an America that's Great Again! He's gonna know kneeling on that lady's back was the right thing. I really think that's the inspiration for the terrorist costume.
