Over the last weekend, California Governor Gavin Newsom imposed a ban on the usage of masks by cops under local and federal jurisdiction, including ICE agents. The one-of-a-kind bill was passed by Newsom in California in response to the recent raids conducted by ICE agents. Talking about the step, he spoke of its requirement while emphasising on the need for accountability from the people carrying out these activities.
As expected, Gavin Newsom’s bill was met with a lot of criticism, especially from Republicans who are not too happy about it. Their dissatisfaction over the matter does not come as a surprise, as the party, along with President Donald Trump, who represents it, is the one calling for the crackdown on the immigrant population.
