Now the American Civil Liberties Union is calling for the city to reconsider its ban on prohibited items during public assemblies.
Charged with misdemeanors, the face-coverings have left the protesters facing possible fines and jail time.
"The ACLU believes this ordinance is unconstitutional and too broad and too vague," Salceda said. "The state already has a law on the books preventing people from masking their identities while engaging in criminal activities. Modesto and other cities could already use that law."
Modesto councilmember Chris Ricci is calling on the city police review board to make recommendations on what to do with the policy.
City signage shows, besides masks, the city bans a long list of items from demonstrations, from lumber and piping to balloons and bottles.
For now, it's the mask-wearing misdemeanor that has Modesto under this civil rights microscope.
