The Department of Homeland Security on Monday said it would not comply with California's new law that bans law enforcement officers from covering their faces while conducting operations. California, for its part, is the first state to pass a mask ban for law enforcement officers. “Immigration agents should be required to display their agency and name or badge number—just like police and other local law enforcement agencies. Scott Shuchart, a former ICE and DHS official, told Padilla and Booker that banning law enforcement from concealing their identities is good policy. It’s also unclear whether police in California will enforce the law and arrest federal agents who wear masks while conducting immigration raids.
