Los Angeles County Authorities are calling for an ordinance that prohibits law enforcement officials from hiding their identity while working.

The move comes after a recent federal immigrant attack in the city where some federal agents covered their faces with masks and refused to reveal their identity.

The Board of Supervisors voted 4-0 on Tuesday with one abstention, ordering county lawyers to draft an ordinance that would prohibit law enforcement agencies, including federal agents, from wearing masks, with a few exceptions during medical protection and undercover investigations.

Officers must also display their identification and agency affiliation visible while working in public places.

“Across the county, people are being pulled out of cars, beaten, torn from their families by men with balaclava, badges and tactical equipment that have no name,” Hearn said. “It’s not how law enforcement works in democracy.”

Hahn acknowledged that it is unclear whether the county will be able to enforce measures against actions by federal agencies, including US immigration and customs enforcement.

“In the end, it may have to be decided by the court,” she said.

In Los Angeles County, county advisors have 60 days to submit draft ordinances to the board for approval.

Another co-author, Director Hilda Solis, said local officials must establish expectations for how law enforcement will act in the county.

“Refusing to show masks, tactical gear and identification is not only surprising confusion, but also erodes public trust and raises serious safety concerns,” Solis said.
