Proposed bill would ban ICE agents from wearing masks during arrests

New York leaders will gather on Saturday to discuss the "No Masks For ICE" Act.
NEW YORK (WABC) -- City leaders gathered outside a federal New York detention center on Saturday to call for more transparency from Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.

New York Rep. Nydia Velazquez held a news conference outside the Federal Plaza Immigration Court to spotlight her bill, the "No Masks For ICE" Act.

The proposed bill would ban ICE agents from wearing face coverings during arrests and require them to clearly display their name and agency.

Velazquez introduced the bill in response to recent instances in New York City and across the U.S. of ICE agents conducting arrests while masked, unmarked and operating in plainclothes. According to the state representative, the tactics have caused fear and a lack of accountability.

I wasn't aware states could tell federal law enforcement agencies how to do their jobs.  Besides, arresting people from 3rd world countries is risky from a health standpoint in that who knows what infectious diseases they may have.  But I guess democrats think Americans getting sick and possibly dying, is a small price to pay for illegal immigrants to be in America. :im waiting:

They can't.  The Supremacy Clause protects them from this kind of nonsense.

Who is going to arrest them?  The NYPD?
