Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA), the same politician who had a cozy relationship with a Chinese spy, has reached a new level of anti-American extremism. The radical Democrat announced that if elected governor of California, he would strip driver's licenses from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents operating in the Golden State.

This shocking declaration comes as President Trump's second-term agenda includes the largest deportation operation in American history – something that has clearly triggered the far-left into absolute hysteria.

Let that sink in, Patriots. A sitting member of Congress wants to prevent federal law enforcement officers from having basic driving privileges simply for enforcing immigration law. This isn't just obstruction – it's a direct assault on the rule of law itself.

California's War on Immigration Enforcement

Swalwell's unhinged proposal represents the logical endpoint of California's sanctuary state policies. The same politicians who roll out the red carpet for illegal aliens now want to criminalize the very agents tasked with protecting American citizens from criminal foreign nationals.

This is the same Eric Swalwell who was compromised by Chinese intelligence operative Fang Fang, yet somehow he's still allowed to sit on the House Intelligence Committee. Now he wants to govern America's most populous state while actively sabotaging federal immigration enforcement.

"This is what happens when the radical left prioritizes illegal aliens over American citizens and the brave men and women who risk their lives to protect our borders,"

one immigration enforcement source told us.

Trump's Response Coming?

With Republicans now controlling the federal government, Swalwell's scheme could backfire spectacularly. The Trump administration has numerous tools at its disposal to ensure immigration law is enforced, regardless of California's resistance.

From withholding federal funding to deploying additional federal resources, President Trump has already proven he won't let sanctuary jurisdictions endanger American lives with impunity.

The question every California voter should ask themselves: Do you want a governor who sides with foreign nationals over federal law enforcement? Eric Swalwell just gave you his answer loud and clear.

How is this even legal? Can a state governor really target federal employees like this?

Good question - this seems like it would violate the Supremacy Clause. Federal law trumps state law.

The fact that he thinks this is a winning campaign strategy shows how out of touch he is with regular Californians. Most people want immigration laws enforced, not ICE agents punished for doing their jobs.

And this is why I left California for Texas three years ago. The politicians there have completely abandoned any pretense of supporting law enforcement.

As a retired Border Patrol agent, this is absolutely insane. These ICE agents are doing their jobs to protect our communities, and now politicians want to make their lives harder? What's next, stripping licenses from police officers?

This is exactly the kind of radical nonsense that's destroying California. Swalwell has completely lost it if he thinks targeting federal law enforcement is going to win him votes outside of San Francisco.

He's pandering to the far-left base, but this will backfire with moderate voters who still believe in law and order.

Swalwell is unhinged! This proves Democrats hate America and want open borders.
