Denverite: On Monday night, Denver City Council members advanced a proposed new law that would ban law enforcement agents from concealing their identities with face coverings. It’s a response, in large part, to the presence of masked immigration agents across the U.S.

“It’s not anything that we ever planned or thought of passing, until last year when we started seeing mass agents harassing people across our country and even before we saw anyone get murdered,” said Councilmember Flor Alvidrez, a sponsor. 

If implemented, Denver police could be asked to cite — or even arrest — fellow law enforcement officers, including federal agents.
