California Senate Bill 627 would ban law enforcement from wearing masks on the job, a response to photos of ICE agents covering their faces as immigration enforcement in the state ramps up.

In response to immigration raids by masked federal officers in Los Angeles and across the nation, two California lawmakers on Monday proposed a new state law to ban members of law enforcement from concealing their faces while on the job.

The bill would make it a misdemeanor for local, state and federal law enforcement officers to cover their faces with some exceptions, and also encourage them to wear a form of identification on their uniform.

“We’re really at risk of having, effectively, secret police in this country,” said state Sen. Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco), co-author of the bill.

    Then, when a Democratic president takes office the court will walk it back and say “well, actually, there’s this exception, and this exception, and that exception…”

    Or they won’t, because the Dem president will simply “not abuse such powers” due to their “adherence to decorum”.

    The SC made the president god-king while Biden was in office.
