Suburban New York county bans wearing of masks to hide identity

Category: Legislation

Nassau County lawmakers in New York have passed a bill banning masks in public places, with exceptions for health, religious, or cultural reasons. The bill aims to prevent violent protesters from hiding their identities, following a rise in antisemitic incidents linked to masked individuals. Critics, including the New York Civil Liberties Union, argue it infringes on free speech and could lead to selective enforcement. The measure imposes penalties for violations, while supporters claim it will enhance accountability among protesters.
