Republicans approved a sweeping ban on the public use of face coverings after a raucous debate on Monday .
They claimed the measure would combat crimes committed during protests.
Progressives called the measure part of a “culture war” that targets demonstrators supporting Palestine in the ongoing war.
Democrats and civil libertarians in Nassau said the bill will be impractical to enforce, unable to withstand legal challenges and likely to lead to profiling and unjustified stops.
Proponents of banning masks in public point to an 1845 state statute aimed at insurrections by tenant farmers.
The law was later used to combat the Ku Klux Klan .
It has mostly been enforced as disorderly conduct, a violation punishable by $ 250 and up to 15 days in jail.
