States seek to unmask federal immigration agents — and their own police
Our take
States across the U.S. are moving to unmask federal immigration agents, with initiatives gaining traction to prohibit them from wearing masks during encounters. In Washington, Governor Bob Ferguson recently signed a law aimed at increasing transparency in law enforcement. This legislation seeks to ensure that community members can identify federal agents, fostering accountability and trust. As debates around immigration enforcement continue, these proposals highlight a growing demand for clarity regarding the roles and actions of both federal and local law enforcement agencies.
Proposals to prohibit federal immigration agents from wearing masks are gaining new life, including in Washington, where Gov. Bob Ferguson signed a law Thursday.
