HF 4405 Minnesota House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Federal officers exercising federal immigration authority prohibited from wearing face coverings.

This bill prohibits federal immigration officers from wearing face coverings like masks or hoods while performing public duties in Minnesota, unless the covering is needed for environmental protection. It specifically targets officers from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement who engage in visible enforcement activities such as patrols, arrests, and interviews. Violating this rule would result in misdemeanor charges. The law applies only to public-facing operations and excludes covert or non-enforcement tasks. It takes effect immediately upon final passage.
