Federal judge curbs New York mask ban on ICE while preserving limits on 287(g) deals

A federal judge struck down New York's ban on federal investigators wearing masks, ruling that the Supremacy Clause prevents New York from regulating federal law enforcement, while upholding a separate NY provision banning 287(g) agreements that allow local agencies to cooperate with ICE; the decision aligns with similar rulings against mask requirements for federal officers and does not comment on immigration policy itself.
