The Trump administration, through the Department of Justice (DOJ), filed a lawsuit against Milwaukee on Thursday challenging the city's ban on law enforcement wearing face coverings while on duty. The DOJ argues that the measure is unconstitutional when applied to federal agents, citing recent legal victories in similar cases against California, Virginia, and Philadelphia.

The DOJ is asking the court to join the growing number of rulings that have sided with the administration on this issue.
