California bans masks for law enforcement and ICE officers in new immigration and police reforms

California has become the first state to ban most law enforcement officers, including federal immigration agents, from covering their faces during official operations, in response to recent immigration raids and concerns over masked agents detaining individuals without identification. The law aims to increase transparency and public trust, but faces opposition from federal agencies and questions about enforcement. Additional legislation restricts immigration agents from entering schools and healthcare facilities without warrants, reflecting California's stance on immigration enforcement and law enforcement transparency.
