Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Judge Halts California Mask Ban for ICE Agents, Allows ID Transparency Law to Proceed
Caption: Judge Halts California Mask Ban for ICE Agents, Allows ID Transparency Law to Proceed. A federal judge has temporarily stopped California from enforcing a new law that would restrict when ICE agents can wear masks during deportation operations - According to Politico. The court ruled that the mask ban likely violates the Constitution because it targets federal officers while not applying the same rules to state police. According to the judge, laws cannot single out federal enforcement differently from comparable state authorities. However, the judge allowed a separate California transparency measure to move forward. That law requires most law enforcement officers to show their name or badge number while on duty. The court said this broader rule supports accountability and public trust. State lawmakers say they now plan to revise the mask ban so it also covers state officers.
