"Police in a suburban New York county have made their first arrest under a new law banning face masks"
From AP, via NACDL's news update:
Police in the suburbs of New York City made the first arrest under a new local law banning face masks, officials announced Tuesday.
. . . .
The New York Civil Liberties Union, which has criticized the new law, repeated its warning that the mask ban is “ripe for selective enforcement by a police department with a history of aggression and discrimination.”
Disability Rights of New York, a group that advocates for people with disabilities, filed a legal challenge last week arguing that the mask law is unconstitutional and discriminates against people with disabilities.
