司法部起诉圣保罗与Portland两市 挑战禁止联邦执法人员戴面罩的地方条例
华盛顿——美国司法部10月15日宣布，已分别起诉明尼苏达州圣保罗市与俄勒冈州Portland市，挑战两市禁止联邦执法人员佩戴面罩、并要求其按地方条例出示身份的规定（圣保罗市条例第268A至268B条、Portland市条例第23.30.030与23.30.100条）。
司法部在诉状中称，这类地方法规是对联邦政府的违法规制，并称联邦执法人员正面临骚扰、人肉搜索乃至暴力威胁，这类规定危及执法人员安全、寒蝉联邦执法并妨碍敏感行动。司法部协理总检察长小斯坦利·E·伍德沃德（Stanley E. Woodward Jr.）表示，依据宪法至上条款，各州与地方无权规制联邦政府及其执法人员，更不能制定危及联邦执法人员安全的法律。
Justice Department Sues St. Paul and Portland Over Mask Bans for Federal Officers
WASHINGTON — The Justice Department announced on October 15 that it has sued the cities of St. Paul, Minnesota, and Portland, Oregon, challenging their ordinances that prohibit federal law enforcement officers from wearing masks and require them to provide identification as prescribed by local code — St. Paul Code of Ordinances §§ 268A–268B and Portland City Code §§ 23.30.030 and 23.30.100.
The department alleges the ordinances are unlawful attempts to regulate the federal government and says they threaten the safety of federal officers who have faced harassment, doxxing and violence, chill federal enforcement and compromise sensitive operations. Associate Attorney General Stanley E. Woodward Jr. said that under the Constitution's Supremacy Clause, states and localities cannot regulate the federal government and its law enforcement officers, and cannot enact laws that put federal officers at risk.
