Denver considers ban on face coverings for ICE agents in council proposal

The Denver Post: The Denver City Council is considering a new policy that would ban law enforcement officers — including U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents — from covering their faces during arrest and detention operations.

Councilwomen Flor Alvidrez and Shontel Lewis plan to present the idea for a potential city ordinance during a committee meeting at 1:30 p.m. Monday.

A presentation prepared for the meeting indirectly references ICE agents, calling the face coverings and masks they often wear during operations “an intimidation tactic.”
