Ban Routine Masking by Federal Agents

Federal law should bar routine facial masking by federal immigration and law‑enforcement agents during public operations while allowing narrowly drawn exceptions for officer safety and covert investigations. Exceptions must require advance supervisory sign‑off, post‑operation reporting to local authorities, and protections against doxxing (criminal penalties for publishing identifying photos intended to threaten officers). — How the federal government balances officer safety, transparency, and local police coordination affects civilian safety, impersonation crime, and trust in institutions.
