The Trump administration filed a lawsuit against the state of California on Monday, alleging its law banning federal immigration officers from wearing face masks is unconstitutional.
The lawsuit, filed in the Central District of California against California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) and California Attorney General Rob Bonta (D), says that the state does not have the authority to regulate Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers.
Newsom signed the No Secret Police Act and No Vigilantes Act into law in September. The pair of measures, which take effect on Jan. 1, ban federal law enforcement officers from wearing masks while carrying out operations in the state and require non-uniformed officers to visibly display identification while performing their duties, respectively.
Before signing the acts into law, Newsom said that federal immigration officers would no longer be “hidden from accountability” while conducting operations in the Golden State.
“That’s not the America we’ve grown up in. And so we are pushing back,” the governor added at the time.
The lawsuit, filed on Monday, however, asks the court to declare that the laws violate the Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution and issue a preliminary injunction prohibiting California law enforcement officers from enforcing these laws.
