California bans ICE agents from wearing face coverings while on duty, effective January 1, 2026.
The new mandate restricts how quickly and broadly Correctional Health Services physicians can prescribe the medication. Priority will be given to people when they first enter the jail system - the largest in California - which houses roughly 13,000 people across nine main facilities. Everyone else who wants medication will be placed on a waitlist. "It's misleading because we just put people on this list and then they stay on the list," said a physician.
