"Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) vowed to strip masked ICE agents of their driver's licences if he becomes governor. Appearing on MS NOW's Way to Early on Friday, the host noted that it was states that were leading the push back against President Donald Trump's deportation policy before asking Swalwell what he would bring to the table if he were elected."
"I also think if the governor has the ability to issue driver's licenses to people in California, if you're going to wear a mask and not identify yourself, you're not going to be eligible to drive a vehicle in California. There's a lot you can do, but most importantly, you have to go on offense. Otherwise, the most vulnerable in our community will always be on defense, he concluded."
Rep. Eric Swalwell pledged to revoke the driving privileges of masked federal ICE agents in California if elected governor, requiring them to unmask and show identification. Swalwell said agents who commit crimes such as false imprisonment, kidnapping, assault or battery would be charged and held accountable. He proposed using the state's authority over driver's licenses to bar masked, unidentified federal agents from driving in California. California's mask ban for ICE officers has taken effect after a legal fight; Governor Gavin Newsom signed the law to prevent ICE officers from being hidden from accountability. The Department of Homeland Security refused to comply and the White House sued, arguing the state overstepped its authority, and a key early ruling went California's way.
