A federal court issued a preliminary ruling that blocked New York officials from banning federal immigration agents from wearing masks and other coverings. Linda Fang of the New York State Attorney General's office argued that the law did not contradict any law issued by the federal government. "As we have said from the start, New York’s ban on 287(g) agreements is legal and will keep our communities safe. Local law enforcement should be focused on local matters, and New York taxpayers should not have to foot the bill for any collaboration with ICE," the joint statement reads.
