Gov. Mikie Sherrill signed a law barring law‑enforcement officers — explicitly including federal ICE agents during immigration raids — from wearing face coverings that hide their identities and requiring officers to present identification before detaining or arresting someone. The measure also created a public portal for residents to upload photos and videos of ICE operations and follows similar state moves that have drawn sharp DHS criticism and could prompt legal and operational clashes with the federal government.
