<h1>Mayor orders city police not to assist federal immigration enforcement, restricts patrols, stops, face-covering use</h1> City mayor issued an executive order barring municipal police from assisting federal immigration enforcement or participating in related patrols, traffic stops, checkpoints, and from wearing identity-concealing face coverings, and directed city departments to protect residents' constitutional rights in anticipation of a pending federal surge of immigration officers. The order asserts local noncooperation with a federally directed operation planned to be deployed for about 30 days. Legal tensions include federal supremacy and immigration enforcement authority versus local anti-commandeering/sovereignty principles and state sanctuary laws, raising the likelihood of litigation over preemption, cooperation obligations, and constitutional limits on federal and local powers.
