The Department of Justice is suing California over two new laws that require federal agents to unmask and identify themselves during operations, arguing these laws violate the Constitution’s Supremacy Clause. California’s Governor Gavin Newsom defended the laws, stating they enhance public safety, while critics claim they endanger officers. The laws, signed in September, impose penalties for noncompliance and were prompted by federal agents’ use of masks in immigration enforcement. The federal government has declared it will not comply with these state laws.
