“Last week, the California Legislature passed the No Secret Police Act, authored by Sen. Scott Wiener, a Democrat from San Francisco, which would ban the use of masks for federal and local law enforcement. It’s now up to the governor to sign the bill into law. Newsom’s decision will have implications on the way raids are conducted in California, as the Trump administration continues conducting the operations. … The Department of Homeland Security on Tuesday released a statement calling for Newsom to veto the bill, defending the use of masks as a protective measure for [thugs affiliated with ICE and other gangs], who would otherwise be forced to show their full faces and could be targeted by [other] ‘vicious criminals.’ Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin called the bill ‘despicable.'” (09/17/25)
