Lawmakers suggest banning ice, which prohibits law enforcement from wearing masks

Two California lawmakers are pushing for law enforcement from covering their faces when arresting in the state.

The “secret police law,” introduced by two Democrats in the California Senate, is a response to the sweeping of immigrants across the country by masked agents of plain cross who increasingly refuse to identify themselves by the names and agents in which he works.

“Recent federal operations in California have created a deep, fearful environment,” Sen. Scott Wiener of D-San Francisco said in a statement. “If you want the public to trust law enforcement, you can’t act like a secret police in an authoritarian state.”

The now widespread protest against the Trump administration’s aggressive immigration enforcement was ignited in early June when street protests became violent in Los Angeles. California lawmakers were one of President Donald Trump’s most vocal enemies.

The bill, co-hosted by D-Berkeley’s Jesse Arreguin, also requires officers to identify uniforms. It exempts SWAT teams and allows for the use of medical grade masks, which are used to protect workers in emergencies such as Wildfires.

“This bill ensures that law enforcement is easy to identify and maintains its trust and accountability,” Arreguin said in a statement.

Homeland Security spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin said in a June 20 post on social media site X that Ice Agent “has increased by 500%.”

She did not provide a total number of attacks or an increase time frame. However, the circulating video online shows an increasingly violent conflict between masked federal agents and civilians seeking to document or prevent arrests.

“These are brave men and women who have brought to life to arrest violent criminals and gang members,” she said.

Local police officers usually wear uniforms with nameplates and carry badges. US border patrol agents wear olive green uniforms with name tags and agent patches. FBI agents usually show badges when interacting with subjects and civilians.

However, ice agents are rarely even.
