A judge blocks California’s mask ban on federal agents unless applied equally to all police, allowing masked federal officers with visible badges.
A federal judge has blocked California’s law banning federal immigration agents from wearing masks, ruling it discriminated against federal officers by not applying to state law enforcement.
The judge, Christina Snyder, allowed the ban to take effect only if it applies equally to all law enforcement agencies and upheld a separate state law requiring clear identification badges.
The decision, effective February 19, permits federal agents to wear masks as long as they display visible agency and badge information.
The ruling follows a lawsuit by the federal government, which argued the ban endangered officers and violated constitutional principles.
California lawmakers plan to introduce new legislation to extend the ban to state police.
