In January, the state of California and its largest county will ban law enforcement officers from covering their faces, with a few exceptions, putting local and state police at odds with masked immigration agents.

    But now the state police or city cops can arrest an ICE agent if they identify themselves as such while masked, right? That's s step in the right direction.

    Expect the feds to invoke the Supremacy Clause and claim being arrested interferes with them executing their duty as a federal agent. They are going to blatantly ignore this law. We're not going to win this by pitting just state laws against unjust federal agents.
