The US Department of Justice has taken New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill and Attorney General Jennifer Davenport to court over the "Law Enforcement Officer Protection Act," S3114," which requires all law enforcement officers, including agents from ICE, the FBI, and the DEA, to show their faces and provide visible identification before detaining or arresting someone. The Justice Department argues that the law violates the Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution, which prevents states from controlling or regulating the federal government's operations.
