"The appeals court agreed, saying the law 'attempts to directly regulate the United States in its performance of governmental functions,' in an opinion written by Judge Mark J. Bennett."
"California lawyers argued that the law applied equally to all law enforcement officers without discriminating against the U.S. government, and that states could apply 'generally applicable' laws to federal agents."
"The Trump administration filed a lawsuit in November challenging the law, arguing that it would threaten the safety of officers who are facing harassment, doxing, and violence."
A California law mandating federal immigration agents to wear identification was blocked by an appeals court. The Trump administration argued the law threatened officer safety and violated the Constitution by regulating the federal government. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals issued an injunction, agreeing that the law attempted to regulate U.S. governmental functions. California lawyers contended the law was generally applicable to all law enforcement and addressed public safety. Another law banning facial coverings for law enforcement was also blocked earlier this year.
