California Democratic State Senator Scott Wiener, along with another Bay Area lawmaker, has introduced legislation known as the "No Secret Police Act" that would prohibit law enforcement officers at the local, state, and federal levels from wearing face coverings while conducting official duties in California. The bill aims to ban masks for agencies including Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) amid ongoing protests against immigration enforcement and concerns over federal agents concealing their identities during operations. Under the proposed law, officers who cover their faces could face misdemeanor charges. The legislation also requires law enforcement uniforms to display identifying information such as names or other identifiers. Supporters argue the bill promotes transparency and accountability, while critics contend it could expose officers to harassment and danger, particularly as targeted attacks on ICE agents have reportedly increased by 413%. The bill has drawn attention amid debates over law enforcement practices and public safety in the state.
