First term Trump would have simply ignored New Jersey’s law, daring any cop in the state to attempt to arrest an NICE agent. Second term Trump has good people working for him, people who will impose what he wants. Also, the masks would be unnecessary if Democrat voters weren’t unhinged and violent
Trump administration sues NJ over law limiting masks for cops, ICE agents
The U.S. Department of Justice sued New Jersey over a state law that limits when law enforcement can hide their identities while interacting with the public.
The federal government argued the law, which also requires officers to identify themselves before detaining or arresting someone, improperly seeks to regulate the actions of federal officials. The law was pushed by New Jersey Democrats to prevent immigration agents from wearing masks during enforcement operations.
“New Jersey lacks the legal authority to regulate the Federal Government at all, much less through a law targeted at core governmental functions such as law enforcement,” the department said in a pages-long preliminary statement that began by quoting President Donald Trump.
The lawsuit was filed Wednesday in U.S. District Court.
The law, which Gov. Mikie Sherrill (D) signed in March along with two other bills aimed at limiting immigration enforcement, restricts when law enforcement officers at any level of government can shield their identity, including with masks, while on duty and interacting with the public.
Well, if this goes the same as the case for California which tried the same thing, NJ will lose
The judges said that the state law “purports to override the federal government’s power to determine whether, how, and when to publicly identify its officers.” And they add, “in so doing, it aims to regulate the manner and conditions under which federal agents can enforce federal law.”
A California appeals court has blocked a move by Gov. Gavin Newsom to force ICE agents to wear identification, saying that the state couldn’t regulate actions by the federal government.
That’s the problem with trying to pass laws that enforce your unhinged views when said laws are un-Constitutional. All to protect illegal alien criminals
