A federal judge Wednesday heard arguments in the Trump administration’s lawsuit
challenging California’s new law prohibiting ICE agents and other police officers from wearing masks on duty.
The judge asked how ICE agents operated without masks in years past,
and questioned why California peace officers were exempted from the law.
A ruling in closely-watched case could come as soon as this week.

DOJ asks LA judge to pause new law banning masks on federal officers

Donkerrode cijfers voor eerste elektronische tolweg in Nederland: boetegolf blijft uit
De eerste elektronische tolweg van ons land blijkt een financieel drama. De Blankenburgverbinding (A24) in Zuid-Holland levert veel minder tolgeld op dan de overheid had verwacht, mede doordat er ten onrechte gerekend was op een enorme boetegolf. Het ministerie gaat nu zelfs uit van een verlies van 10 miljoen euro, ontdekte RTL Nieuws.
