Gov. Hochul won't rule out banning masked ICE agents in N.Y.
Gov. Kathy Hochul wouldn't rule out barring federal immigration agents from concealing their identities when they interact with New Yorkers as top state Democrats this week railed against officers who wear face masks or other disguises.
State officials said they're concerned about U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers breaking the law by wearing facial coverings and regular civilian clothes when making arrests. Masked ICE officers wearing plainclothes allegedly detained at least eight people in Saratoga Springs earlier this week, according to The Times Union.
