This and what's been happening in various States all looks like a set-up for an eventual Constitutional crisis and maybe balkanization of the United States over the issue of States' Rights (10th Amendment) vs areas of Federal domain (in the body of the Constitution) with regard to immigration/migration of "undocumented" people.

Police and ICE mask ban​

SB 627 bans most law enforcement officers, including federal immigration agents, from wearing face coverings while conducting official business in the state.

The new law is a direct response to federal agents wearing masks while making arrests during immigration enforcement operations, including those across Southern California and Los Angeles that prompted protests this summer.

The Department of Homeland Security announced in September that it would not comply with the law. The DOJ later sued California over the law.
