FIRST ON FOX: DOJ Sues Spanberger’s Virginia Over Federal Agent Mask Ban, ICE Laws

The lawsuit, first shared exclusively with Fox News Digital, contends that Virginia is violating the U.S. Constitution’s Supremacy Clause by attempting to dictate how federal officers conduct their law enforcement operations. This includes imposing restrictions on when agents can wear masks, mandating specific identifying information they must display, and setting conditions on whether local agencies can maintain crucial ICE cooperation agreements.

The two contested laws include one that restricts law enforcement officers, including federal personnel, from wearing facial coverings while on duty and mandates the display of identifying information. The other law imposes state-mandated conditions on federal immigration enforcement agreements, directly impacting federal immigration enforcement efforts.
