New York is suing the Trump administration over new policing laws set to take effect on Friday. The legislation prohibits all law enforcement officers from concealing their identities with masks and prevents officers from assisting federal immigration agents in making arrests. Last week, the White House threatened to sue the state over the laws. Gov. Kathy Hochul and Attorney General Letitia James have asked the court to stop attempts to block the legislation.
