Headline: UNCAPTIONED: New York Moves To Ban Masked Law Enforcement Officers
Caption: New York Moves To Ban Masked Law Enforcement Officers. Governor Kathy Hochul announced plans to ban law enforcement officers from wearing masks while on duty in most situations. The proposal is part of a broader budget agreement that also includes major immigration-related measures in New York. Under the plan, state law enforcement would be barred from cooperating with ICE on federal immigration operations. The agreement would also restrict ICE access to schools, hospitals, homes and other sensitive locations without a judicial warrant. Hochul said masks would only be allowed in limited operational situations, such as the use of protective gear. Similar restrictions targeting masked immigration agents have already been introduced in states including California and New Jersey. The US Justice Department has challenged those measures in court, arguing they discriminate against federal officers. The proposal is expected to face legal opposition from the administration of Donald Trump. Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
