DOJ sues Portland and St. Paul over ‘illegal’ laws blocking ICE officers from wearing masks, requiring visible identification | The Post Millennial– thepostmillennial.com

On Thursday, the US Department of Justice (DOJ) filed complaints against the cities of Portland, Oregon, and St. Paul, Minnesota, for their laws prohibiting US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers from wearing masks and requiring them to display visible identification during enforcement operations. The laws threaten officers with prosecution.

This comes after the US Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals struck down on Wednesday California’s “No Vigilantes Act,” a law that mirrors these two cities’ ordinances, which was deemed unconstitutional under the Supremacy Clause.
