New York’s law prohibiting federal immigration agents from wearing masks and requiring them to display identification was blocked on Monday after a federal judge issued a preliminary injunction halting the ban.
The Department of Justice has vehemently opposed New York’s efforts to rein in ICE operations, saying they represent an illegal push to regulate the federal government. In June, the Trump administration sued to block the mandates.
Judge Mae D’Agostino of the Northern District of New York partially granted the Justice Department’s request for a preliminary injunction, saying she expected the federal government to succeed at trial with its argument that the state’s “face covering and identification acts directly regulate federal officers in violation of the Supremacy Clause.”
