In January, the state of California and its largest county will ban law enforcement officers from covering their faces, with a few exceptions, putting local and state police at odds with masked immigration agents.

The morality of it is pretty simple

If you want to wear a mask to hide your identity because of what you are doing .... chances are you know what are you are doing is wrong and you don't want to be held accountable for it later.

If you honestly believe in what you are doing and have all the faith in the world that what you are doing is morally, philosophically and politically correct ... then you should never have the need to want to wear a mask to hide who you are.

Wearing a mask is the sign of a coward who doesn't have the conviction to stand up for what they believe in.

You can need to hide your identity while being morally, philosophically, and politically correct if there's a good chance you'll be persecuted by a fascist regime or something

The rules both legally and morally for hiding your identity are very distinct when applied to those in power.
