🚨BREAKING: the Justice Department has filed a lawsuit against Virginia, its Attorney General Jay Jones & the Commonwealth Attorney for Fairfax, Steve Descano.
It's challenging their attempts for:
-mask bans for federal officers
-requests that officers display 'individual identifiers'
and
-refusal to cooperate with other law enforcement agencies on immigration issues.
The claim, in part:
Not only is the law an illegal attempt to regulate the federal government, but, as alleged in the complaint, the law threatens the safety of federal officers who have faced an unprecedent wave of harassment, doxing, and even violence. Threatening officers with prosecution for simply protecting their identities and their families also chills the enforcement of federal law and compromises sensitive law enforcement operations.
More to come on
