(filed November 17, 2025)
U.S. v. State of California - The Trump Administration sued the state of California over two state laws passed in 2025, the No Secret Police Act (SB627) prohibiting law enforcement from wearing a mask, and the No Vigilantes Act (SB805) requiring law enforcement not uniformed to visibly display identification that includes the agency name and either a badge number or name of the officer. On February 9, 2025, the federal court held the No Secret Police Act (SB627) violated the Supremacy Clause because it does not apply equally to all law enforcement officers in the state and therefore unlawfully discriminates against federal officers. However, the federal court did hold that federal officers can perform their duties without a mask. Additionally, the federal court upheld the No Vigilantes Act (SB805), finding the Act does not discriminate against the federal government and does not regulate the federal government. The government requested a stay of the order, and the court stayed the order until February 19, 2026.
