In a significant legislative move, California lawmakers have passed a bill that prohibits most law enforcement officers, including federal immigration agents, from wearing face masks during operations. This legislation, aimed at enhancing transparency and accountability, has drawn mixed reactions. Critics, including a senior advisor from Customs and Border Protection (CBP), have labeled the bill as lacking common sense, while immigrant justice groups have supported the proposal. As the bill awaits approval from the governor, it reflects ongoing tensions over law enforcement practices and immigration policies. Local councils, such as San Jose, are also advancing proposals to require federal agents to identify themselves, further intensifying the debate around transparency in law enforcement.
