(The Center Square) — New York's push to unmask ICE agents is on hold after a federal judge blocked provisions of a newly minted state law that restricts local cooperation with immigration crackdowns. 

In a Monday ruling, U.S. District Court Judge Mae A. D’Agostino said that the Constitution’s Supremacy Clause doesn't permit New York to regulate federal law enforcement activities and approved a preliminary injunction blocking the state from enforcing the masking ban.
