The ruling comes after a federal judge earlier this year blocked a similar law in California that was enacted after the Trump administration aggressively worked to increase immigration arrests. The federal government has shown a likelihood that the measures go against the supremacy clause of the U.S. Constitution, which bars state governments from regulating federal law enforcement, D’Agostino wrote. New York’s face coverings and identification measures took effect in June, according to the ruling. In May, the U.S. Department of Justice filed a federal lawsuit against Connecticut over a new state law that prohibits federal agents from wearing masks.
