ICE agents could be banned from wearing masks under new proposal

A California state senator, Aisha Wahab, has proposed a bill that would ban Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents from wearing masks or disguises during operations within the state, aiming to increase transparency and accountability. The bill, Senate Bill 1006, was introduced in response to reports of ICE agents wearing masks during raids, which Wahab argues creates fear and confusion among immigrants and hinders the ability to identify and report misconduct.

The bill is currently under review by the California State Senate's Public Safety Committee.
