DOJ sues Maryland over police mask ban
Original: DOJ suing State of Maryland over ban on police masks amid immigration crackdown
The US Department of Justice is suing the State of Maryland over its ban on police officers wearing masks, a rule adopted amid federal immigration enforcement operations. The lawsuit challenges Maryland's restriction as the immigration crackdown continues, and the case is drawing attention to the clash between state limits on masked policing and federal enforcement tactics.
Why now: The federal government is directly challenging a state law tied to the ongoing immigration enforcement debate.
