新泽西州民主党州长米基·谢里尔（Mikie Sherrill）于周三签署了一项法案，限制包括联邦移民与海关执法局（ICE）探员在内的执法人员使用面罩，
该法律要求执法人员在拘留他人前必须出示身份证明，这一举措正值全国多个社区的移民突袭行动中，部分联邦探员试图隐藏身份。
今年1月就职的谢里尔表示，限制佩戴面罩是为了确保”花园州”（新泽西州别称）居民的安全。
“我不敢相信我们必须这么说，但在美国，我们不会容忍伪装成训练有素执法人员的蒙面游窜民兵组织，”她说道。

谢里尔称，该法律是一套”保护民众隐私与权利”并”加强执法部门与社区间信任”的政策中的一部分。
国会及各州议会的民主党人士数月来一直推动禁止移民执法人员佩戴面罩以隐藏身份的法案，认为此类立法是确保执法透明度的必要举措。
华盛顿州民主党州长鲍勃·弗格森（Bob Ferguson）本月早些时候也签署了类似法案，限制ICE探员佩戴面罩。
美国国土安全部（DHS）批评了揭露ICE探员身份的相关努力，称华盛顿州的新法律”不负责任、鲁莽且危险”。

“必须明确：我们不会遵守这项违宪禁令，”国土安全部当时表示。
谢里尔在周三签署法案之际，仍在继续针对特朗普政府的移民突袭行动。今年早些时候，她宣布开通线上举报渠道，允许居民上传ICE探员开展移民行动的照片和视频。
“如果在街上看到ICE探员，就拿出手机，我们需要知道他们的身份，”谢里尔当时称，”他们一直不配合。他们会抓人，但不会告知我们身份，不会说明是否合法执法，甚至可能抓错人。他们抓过美国公民，甚至五岁儿童。我们需要文件证明，并且会确保得到这些证明。”

“我们看到有人戴着面具却没有任何标识，完全不承担责任，试图躲避民众——而这一次次破坏了执法部门保障民众安全的使命，”她补充道。
特朗普政府还就谢里尔上月签署的行政令起诉新泽西州，该行政令禁止联邦移民执法人员在州属非公共区域（包括惩教设施和法院）进行逮捕，同时禁止将州属财产用作移民执法的集结或处理区域。

New Jersey Gov Sherrill signs law barring ICE agents from wearing face coverings to shield identities
The law also requires officers to present identification before detaining someone

New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill, a Democrat, signed legislation on Wednesday to limit the use of face coverings for law enforcement, including federal ICE agents,
The law, which requires officers to present identification before detaining someone, comes as some federal agents have sought to hide their identities during immigration raids in communities across the country.
Sherrill, who was sworn into office in January, said the mask restriction is part of an effort to ensure the safety of residents of the Garden State.
“I can’t believe we have to say this, but in the United States of America, we’re not going to tolerate masked roving militias pretending, pretending to be well-trained law enforcement agents,” she said.

The law is part of a package that the governor said will “protect people’s privacy and their rights” and “strengthen trust between law enforcement and our communities.”
Democrats in Congress and in various state legislatures have sought for months to adopt measures that would ban immigration agents from wearing masks to hide their identities, arguing that such legislation is needed to ensure transparency.
Washington Gov. Bob Ferguson, a Democrat, also signed a law earlier this month limiting face coverings for ICE agents.
The Department of Homeland Security has criticized efforts to unmask ICE agents, including calling the new Washington state measure “irresponsible, reckless and dangerous.”

“To be crystal clear: we will not abide by this unconstitutional ban,” the department said at the time.
Sherrill’s signature on Wednesday comes as she continues to target the Trump administration’s immigration raids. Earlier this year, she announced a portal to allow residents to upload photos and videos of ICE agents conducting immigration operations.
“If you see an ICE agent in the street, get your phone out, we want to know,” Sherrill said at the time. “They have not been forthcoming. They will pick people up, they will not tell us who they are, they will not tell us if they’re here legally, they won’t check. They’ll pick up American citizens. They picked up a five-year-old child. We want documentation, and we are going to make sure we get it.”

“We saw people in the street with masks and no insignia. So not accountable at all, hiding from the population — and we saw again and again an undermining of what law enforcement should do to keep people safe,” she added.
The Trump administration is also suing New Jersey over Sherrill’s executive order last month that prohibits federal immigration agents from making arrests in nonpublic areas of state property, including correctional facilities and courthouses. The order also blocks the use of state property as a staging or processing area for immigration enforcement.
