flag Swalwell's plan to arrest ICE agents without identification faces legal challenges due to federal immunity and constitutional limits.

flag Rep. Eric Swalwell, running for California governor, said he would arrest ICE agents and revoke their driver’s licenses if they enforce immigration laws without identifying themselves or wear masks, claiming such actions would hold agents accountable for alleged crimes like false imprisonment or assault. flag However, legal experts say the plan likely violates the U.S. Constitution’s Supremacy Clause, which prevents states from interfering with federal operations, and that federal agents are generally immune from state prosecution. flag The proposal, while politically symbolic, faces major legal hurdles and is widely viewed as unenforceable under existing law.
