Judge Blocks NY Mask Ban for ICE | San Antonio News
Description
A federal judge has blocked New York’s law requiring immigration agents to show IDs and remove masks, ruling that states can’t dictate how federal officers enforce federal laws — a win for federal authority under the Supremacy Clause. The Justice Department had argued masks protect agents from harassment, echoing a similar Trump-era victory in California. While the mask ban is paused, another part of the law — restricting local police cooperation with ICE — remains active, backed by Governor Hochul and Attorney General James. New York officials are frustrated but still pushing back, as this showdown underscores the ongoing battle over state vs. federal power in immigration enforcement.
