Denverite: The Denver City Council on Monday banned law enforcement agents from concealing their identities while on duty. The prohibition applies to local, state and federal officers.
“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 of the bill, at an earlier meeting.
The law is part of Denver’s broader legal effort to push back on immigration enforcement. Last week, Mayor Mike Johnston issued an executive order that bans immigration agents from operating on city property, including roads and parks.
