A federal judge in Los Angeles handed the Trump administration a legal victory Monday, issuing a preliminary injunction against California's so-called "No Secret Police Act" — the state law that would have barred ICE agents from wearing masks during enforcement operations.
U.S. District Judge Christina Snyder, a Clinton appointee, ruled that the law unlawfully discriminates against federal officers by singling them out while leaving state and local law enforcement untouched.
That distinction is what killed the law, not on policy grounds, but on constitutional ones.
"However, because the No Secret Police Act, as presently enacted, does not apply equally to all law enforcement officers in the state, it unlawfully discriminates against federal officers."
Good Night, Patriots!
