Los Angeles County supervisors have voted to draft a rule prohibiting law enforcement officers, including federal immigration agents, from concealing their identities with masks while conducting operations in unincorporated parts of the county.
The 4-0 vote, led by Supervisors Janice Hahn and Hilda Solis, directs county attorneys to write legislation barring the use of face coverings such as balaclavas and neck gaiters, though the county has acknowledged it has limited authority over federal personnel.
