New York can’t ban federal agents from wearing face coverings or require that they wear visible identification, a federal judge ruled Monday.
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.
For the Northern District of New York, U.S. District Judge Mae D’Agostino wrote that while New York “appears to be well-intentioned in its pursuit of transparent policing,” that’s not what the court is deciding.
“The issue now before the Court is about constitutionality—not transparency or preferable policy decisions,” she wrote.
Ok, so you could – mere theory – dress up as ICE agent, shoot an ICE agent because they abducted a family member, change clothes again (as long as you’re not on camera), and they would have no way to tell who of them it was, sowing mistrust inside the organization?
Usually you could say it wasn’t official because no bullet is missing. But this is about the USA, so that index is probably useless 😁
Ok, Agent 47.
Oh there you go bringing logic into it. When it’s really about the Constitution, duh
