Judge rules that law discriminates against federal government because it does not apply to state authorities
A federal judge on Monday blocked a California law from going into effect that would ban federal immigration agents from covering their faces, but they will still be required to wear clear identification showing their agency and badge number.
California became the first state to ban most law enforcement officers from wearing facial coverings under a bill that was signed by Gavin Newsom, the governor, in September, following last summer’s high-profile raids by ICE officers in Los Angeles.
The Trump administration filed a lawsuit in November challenging the law, arguing it would threaten the safety of officers who are facing harassment, doxing, and violence. The Department of Justice claimed the law violated the constitution because California would be directly regulating the federal government. The agency argued that federal officers should be able to choose a whether to wear a face covering.
These losers fought tooth and nail to not wear a mask during Covid just so they could fight tooth and nail to wear one to cover up their fascist, traitorous thuggery. This time we must not forgive or forget. They must face justice.
Liberty protects but does not bind
Tyranny binds but does not protect
Also, just a year or two ago they were preventing students from wearing masks at protests
Cool. Make it apply to all law enforcement. That’s a-ok with me!
That’s what they’re going to do.
If you gotta wear a mask, you know you’re doing wrong. But no worries, fuckers, the January 6th traitors were still identified.
“I wAZ OnLy FoLoWINg OrDeRzzz.” isn’t going to save you
Wait why didn’t they make it apply to State authorities too? God damn Gavin Newsom.
The worst part is, this did apply to state law enforcement up until the final revision when they decided to change it:

Can he not rectify it with a new ban that applies across the board?
Fully expect him to throw his hands up and cheerfully announce that he pretended to try.
Btw she was appointed by Bill Clinton. Since people so often care about that stuff with judges.
But the emails.

But what did they claim was wrong about it?
