Los Angeles County pushes for ordinance to prohibit law enforcement from masking their identities

Officials of Los Angeles County are calling for an ordinance to stop law enforcement officers from hiding their identity while on duty.

The move came after a recent federal immigration raid in the city, where some federal agents covered their face masked and refused to reveal their identity, which is not uncommon.

The board of supervisors on Tuesday voted for a consultation for a consultation for a consultation for a consultation, to draft an ordinance, which ban law enforcement, including federal agents, with some exceptions to wear masks, for medical safety, or during undercover operations.

Officers will also need to show identity and agency affiliation while on duty publicly.

Massachusetts bill will force ice agents to do unmasken

Federal agents have raided ice in southern California since June under the collective exile agenda of President Donald Trump, sparking protests and later federal deployment of National Guard and Marine. About half of the guard soldiers and all the marines have been taken out of Los Angeles since then.

Supervisor Jennis Han, who co-written the proposal, said the raids have provoked fear and the residents have the right to know who is stopping them, interrogation or custody.

Hann said, “Across the county, people are being taken out of their cars, beaten, and their families have Balaklav, no badge and no name in strategic gear by men from their families,” Hann said. “It is not how law enforcement should be governed in democracy.”

Hayn admitted that it is unclear that the county would be able to implement the measure against tasks by federal agencies, including American immigration and customs enforcement.

“Eventually, it may have to be decided by a court,” he said.

Administration officials have defended officers who hide their identity, arguing that immigration agents do their safety to avoid the dangers of potential death, including releasing personal information online without their permission.

Ice acting director Todd Leone said last month, “I am sorry that people are making them angry by wearing masks, but I am not going to go to my officials and agents there and keep their lives on line by putting my life on line, because people do not like what people do not like what is the immigration enforcement.”

A pending measures in the state legislature will prevent local, state and federal police from covering their face while on duty in Golden State.

In Los Angeles County, the County Advocate has 60 days to submit a draft ordinance to the board for approval.

Supervisor Hilda Solis, other co-writer, said that local authorities should establish expectations about how the law enforcement should operate themselves in the county.

Solis said, “The use of masks, strategic gears, and refusal to show identity is not only dangerous and misleading, but erases public belief and enhances serious security concerns,” Solis said.
