Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom signed a bill that banned law enforcement officers from wearing facial coatings while conducting official business in California on Saturday.
The draft law submitted to Newsom on Wednesday makes a crime of misdemeanor for local, state or federal law enforcemental forces for masks or personal disguise during their duties unless a civil servant is not hidden or a tactical operation that requires preventive equipment.
The bill will also impose a civilian penalty against civil servants for “unfair behaviors”, including the incorrectly imprisonment of an individual while wearing a facial cover or the incorrect arrest of the individual.

The California Legislative Assembly exceeds the invoice that prohibits the legislator from wearing facial masks.
Newsom, who signed the invoice on Saturday, mocked the representatives of Migration and Customs Execution (ICE) and again and again, “Why are you afraid?”
“Unmarked cars, people in the masks, people are completely disappeared. No permission, no right – immigrants have no rights in a democracy with our rights.” He said. “We have the right to stand up and push back, and that’s what we do here today. This is a shame. This is an anger. We allowed what to happen in this country.… Ice: Mask.
The forbidden comes after a series of migration raids in Los Angeles, where federal agents were wearing masks to protect their identities from leakage.

Deputy Secretary of the Ministry of Interior Security (DHS) Tricia McLughlin said this week, federal agents should identify themselves and wear clothes with ice or homeland security signs during operations.
“Another day is another holy politician who draws a stunt to get 15 minutes of fame while endangering DHS staff and prisoners.” “Ice men and women put their lives every day to arrest illegal illegal aliens to protect and defend the lives of American citizens.”
According to McLawhlin, the agency is experiencing a 1000% increase in attacks against ice officers and leads to concerns about their security and safety of their families.
