Judge blocks NY mask ban for ICE

A federal judge has blocked key parts of a New York law restricting federal immigration agents from wearing masks and requiring visible identification while on duty. The judge ruled that these provisions interfere with federal law enforcement operations and are likely unconstitutional, affirming that only the federal government can set policies for agencies like ICE, FBI, DEA, and CBP. While the mask ban is enjoined, a separate provision limiting local law enforcement’s participation in federal immigration enforcement was not blocked.
