A federal judge has blocked New York’s law banning federal officers from wearing face coverings and requiring they wear physical identification.
The law was put into place after the Trump administration started its immigration crackdown.
Other similar lawsIt also follows a similar decision earlier this year, when a federal judge blocked California from enforcing nearly identical requirements.
The laws were passed after the Trump administration expanded immigration enforcement, with supporters saying masked federal agents should be identifiable and the administration arguing the requirements interfere with federal law enforcement.
The decision marks another win for the Trump administration, which has also challenged similar laws in Connecticut, New Jersey, Virginia and Philadelphia.
