Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) signed a new bill into into law on Saturday that bans most federal, local, and out-of-state law enforcement officers from wearing face coverings.

The bill , dubbed the No Secret Police Act, prohibits most law enforcement operating in the state, including U.S. ICE agents, from masking while on the job. It includes a few exemptions, such as for SWAT teams and undercover police work, and still allows officers to wear medical masks and gas masks, if necessary.
