美国司法部起诉四个州，指控其非法拒绝向联邦执法部门提供保密车牌
Read, Watch or Listen
Washington, D.C. — The U.S. Department of Justice on Wednesday sued Maine, Washington, Oregon and Massachusetts, alleging each state enacted policies that unlawfully deny confidential license plates to federal law enforcement. The suits follow DOJ letters requesting rescission of the policies; Maine paused new plate issuance in January amid enforcement-operation concerns. The lawsuits assert the Supremacy Clause bars state restrictions and argue denied plates jeopardize federal agents’ operational effectiveness and safety, citing recent harassment incidents. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche issued statements backing the suits; states have so far declined DOJ requests, and courts will now consider constitutional preemption claims and agency safety evidence.

如果法院裁定各州不能限制机密车牌，联邦执法部门将从中受益，恢复了司法部称其能提高联邦特工的行动安全性和调查有效性的访问权。
那些实施了限制的州以及一些倡导团体，如果法院做出不利于这些限制的裁决，可能会面临州级控制减弱以及联邦的运作能力增强。
