A federal judge has blocked a California law from going into effect that would ban federal immigration agents from covering their faces, but they will still be required to wear clear identification showing their agency and badge number. Judge Christina Snyder issued the initial ruling Monday. The Trump administration filed a lawsuit in November challenging the laws, arguing that they would threaten the safety of officers. California became the first state to ban most law enforcement officers from wearing facial coverings under a bill that was signed in September. Snyder wrote in her ruling the law discriminated against the federal government.
