A federal judge is considering a challenge to California's new law banning masks for law enforcement, which could expose ICE agents to danger. The legal battle raises questions about safety and state authority.
California's governor has officially banned local and federal law enforcement officers from wearing face masks while on duty, aiming to protect residents from 'secret police' tactics. This controversial law, effective January 2026, faces pushback from federal authorities.
California lawmakers have passed the No Secret Police Act, banning law enforcement from wearing masks during operations. The bill aims to enhance transparency and public trust amidst rising concerns over police impersonation.
