As California Governor Gavin Newsom was verbally bashing President Donald Trump in a Los Angeles auditorium Thursday afternoon, Border Patrol agents swarmed outside and made at least one arrest.
News video showed a group of agents in tactical gear as someone wearing handcuffs was escorted through the crowd. ...
Border Patrol Sector Commander Gregory Bovino told NBC4 Los Angeles while the agency was conducting immigration enforcement patrols, it detained one person, who he claimed was in the country illegally.
Bovino told Fox 11 Los Angeles right after the arrest, “We’re here making Los Angeles a safer place since we won’t have politicians that will do that, we do that ourselves.”
Trump Admin Will Be Ignoring California’s ‘Unconstitutional’ Anti-ICE Law
California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom signed legislation on Saturday that largely bans face coverings for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents and other law enforcement authorities operating in the state...
“At a time that ICE law enforcement faces a 1,000% increase in assaults and their family members are being doxxed and targeted, the sitting Governor of California signs unconstitutional legislation that strips law enforcement of protections in a disgusting, diabolical fundraising and PR stunt,” McLaughlin continued. “To be crystal clear: we will not abide by Newsom’s unconstitutional ban.” ...
The “No Secret Police Act” was first introduced by California State Sen. Scott Wiener, the lawmaker behind another state law that reduced the penalty for knowingly transmitting HIV to another individual. ...
Numerous high-profile threats have been made against ICE in recent months. A Texas man was arrested in April after allegedly threatening to open fire on any ICE agents he caught in his neighborhood, while a New York man was arrested and charged in July for allegedly making online posts threatening to kill ICE agents.
The threat against federal immigration agents significantly escalated when nearly a dozen violent assailants, equipped with tactical gear and weapons, ambushed an ICE facility in Alvarado, Texas, on July 4, resulting in one local police officer being shot in the neck after they unloaded rounds of bullets at agents.
The legality of California’s anti-face mask law is also under scrutiny.
While state lawmakers can regulate the conduct of state and local law enforcement, they have no jurisdiction over federal agents. The Supremacy Clause in the Constitution explicitly states that federal law supersedes any conflicting state law, ostensibly meaning California lawmakers cannot regulate how federal law enforcement officers, such as ICE agents, conduct their duties authorized by federal law.
