SCOTUS To Hear Trump Challenge to TPS for Syrian, Haitian Migrants

U.S. District Judge Christina Snyder, whom President Bill Clinton appointed, ruled that the law unlawfully discriminates against federal officers by targeting them specifically while exempting state and local law enforcement.

The court struck down the law on constitutional grounds, not based on policy considerations.

“The Court finds that federal officers can perform their federal functions without wearing masks. However, because the No Secret Police Act, as presently enacted, does not apply equally to all law enforcement officers in the state, it unlawfully discriminates against federal officers,” Snyder wrote.
