The Federal Government is Suing California over new police laws that target police officers

Sacramento – The US Department of Justice in California on Monday blocked the newly passed law banning law enforcement officials, including Federal immigration agents, from immigration, wearing masks and requiring them to identify themselves.

The laws, passed by the California legislature and signed by Gov. Gavin Newloom, it came after the attack on the immigration facilities of the Trump Administration in California, where masked Federals got out of cars this summer as part of the President’s deportation program.

Atty. Gen. Pamela Bondi, said that the rules were not compatible with the management of Etranger Federal.

“California’s enforcement policies are discriminatory to the federal government and are designed to create harm to our neighbors,” Bondi said in a statement. “These laws cannot stand.”

The governor recently signed senate Bill 627, which prohibits federal officers from wearing masks during enforcement operations, and senate Bill 805, which requires federal officers without showing their name or badge holder during operations. These two measures were introduced as a response to the Trump Administration’s Adloutivation Adriance Raits which are often carried out by masked agents in tysclothes and unspecified vehicles.

The case, which calls the state of California, Gov. Gavin Newloom and State Atty. Gen. Rob Bonta as defendants, asserted the laws are illegal as only the federal government has the authority to regulate their agents and any uniform requirements. It was also said that Federal agents need to conceal their identities from time to time due to the nature of their work.

“Given the personal threats and violence they faced, the law enforcement agencies allow their officers to choose whether or not to wear a mask to protect their identity and provide an additional layer of security,” the lawsuits said. “It denies Federal agencies and elected officials will throw Federal law enforcement and deter law enforcement.”

Federal agents will not comply with any law, the claimants said.

“The federal government will be harmed if it is forced to comply with any action, and face the very real threat of criminal liability for noncompliance,” the plaintiffs said. “Consequently, the laws passed by it are invalid under the main clause and their application to the federal government should be completely destroyed and permanently set aside.”

The newspaper previously said it was unacceptable for “undercover police” to arrest people on the streets, and that new laws were needed to help the public distinguish between legal officials.

However, the governor admitted that the law could use more clarifications regarding safety gear and other exemptions. He directed lawmakers to work on the next bill in the following year.

In a statement on Monday, Sen. Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco), who introduced SB 627, said the FBI recently warned that “undercover police tactics” undermine public safety.

“Despite what they would say they did not register, no one is above the law,” said Wiener. “We’ll see you in court.”
