The DOJ also contends the law puts federal officers at greater risk by preventing them from concealing their identities. "State and local leaders cannot tell Federal officers how to do their job," Associate Attorney General Stanley E. Woodward Jr. said. "And they certainly cannot prohibit them from ensuring their own safety in safeguarding our communities and enforcing federal law. We will never tolerate the doxxing or harassment of federal officers, or any law like Milwaukee's that enables violent behavior against law enforcement officers and their families." The lawsuit comes less than a week after Goyke announced Milwaukee intends to enforce the ordinance against federal law enforcement officers.
