Federal officers exercising certain federal immigration authority prohibition wearing face coverings
This bill prohibits federal immigration officers from wearing face coverings like masks or hoods while performing public duties in Minnesota. It applies specifically to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers conducting visible operations such as patrols, arrests, or status interviews. The law allows face coverings only for medical reasons or hazardous environmental conditions, and violations are classified as misdemeanors. The measure takes effect immediately upon final passage and adds a new section to the Minnesota Statutes.
