City leaders gathered outside a federal New York detention center on Saturday to call for more transparency from Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.
New York Rep. Nydia Velazquez held a news conference outside the Federal Plaza Immigration Court to spotlight her bill, the "No Masks For ICE" Act.
The proposed bill would ban ICE agents from wearing face coverings during arrests and require them to clearly display their name and agency.
Velazquez introduced the bill in response to recent instances in New York City and across the U.S. of ICE agents conducting arrests while masked, unmarked and operating in plainclothes. According to the state representative, the tactics have caused fear and a lack of accountability.
Other elected officials, including fellow New York Rep. Jerry Nadler, legal experts and immigration advocates were expected to attend the news conference.

scumbags all of them, ok then let dox nadia and the rest of the city leaders
NY really has the power to tell Federal Officers what to wear...In their dreams...What a bunch of ahs
State pimps dictating to federal agents? Kabuki theater.
Could very well end up in front of a federal district court judge.
Trump could also find an excuse to declare a state of whatever and call out the guard.
Maybe they can explain why all these “peaceful” protesters at colleges and everywhere else are wearing masks, which is illegal.
New Yawkers suck. They deserve a communist muzzie for mayor.
How about riot gear helmuts?
When will leaders, a/k/a servants, push for complete transparency from leadership, again a/k/a servants?
After all, government politicos and employees are our “SERVANTS”, right?
Here's an idea: Less being in the country illegally, less fear.
If a single ICE agent is harmed by these scoundrels, a criminal RICO case should be brought against these irresponsible NY politicians. They are organized crime bosses.
I’m pretty sure there is a federal court case that says even a USPS employee (letter carrier) can’t be given a state speeding ticket if exceeding state limits in the course of federal duty.
Yeah, but it’s okay for Antifa and Palestinian terrorists to wear masks while assaulting people and police officers.
Got it.
No way the Dem Party will/can support this muzzie...Of course...the whole damn country supported muzzie Obama
They would rather see law enforcement officers subjected to violence against them and their families. What sick evil twisted horrible people these democraps are.
There’s no rational argument against the masks being used, and there’s no acceptable explanation for these leftists actions. They’re fighting our freedoms, our system of laws and justice, our sovereignty, our civil society, and peaceful coexistence with fellow Americans. These Leftists are nazis they label others as.
Velazques
Why do you assume that Gotham voted for this?
Is that illegal? The wearing of masks part, I mean.
