    The Democratic governor has publicly questioned whether the state has the authority to regulate federal law enforcement

    My guy - you’re just the governor; not a judge. You don’t have to do the fascists’ job for them.

      The quote:

      “We have a bill — we’re looking at the constitutionality of it,” Newsom said. “It appears we don’t have the legal authority for federal agents, but we do for other law enforcement authorities. There’s some amendments being made in the bill and our legal team’s looking at it.”

          Because he wants to run for president and basically doesn’t want to alienate anyone except the super die hard Trump supporters he couldn’t win anyway. For everything else he’s spineless and a career politician

          Yeah I feel like doing it and forcing the federal government to bring up a lawsuit would be worth the effort.

        I hear diy law enforcement is now ok. Just modify the bill to let any concerned citizen file suit. Let the gestapo deal with millions of pesky lawsuits

      Yes, and without appropriate identification on hand or prior notification to state or local authorities about activities, a masked person who claims to be an immigration officer, can be presumed by a reasonable person to be breaking this law (if passed), until they are positively identified as federal kidnappers instead of run-of-the-mill kidnappers. In the current state, they can just do whatever without people being able to tell the difference between a criminal assault vs. an enforcement operation.

        Every state has exceptions to quarantine laws that allow people that need to move to keep government or healthcare functioning, to do so? Those “travel letters” identified said persons.

    If these people are carrying out actual justice, why would they need to hide their identity?

    What reason is there for having all this secrecy?

      Remember what happened to the members of the SS after Hitler fell?

      That’s why.

      They know that what they’re doing is illegal and that it’s going to come back to bite them in the ass sooner or later.

        Aha loads of SS got away. There was like a quarter million members and the Allies didn’t give a shit about them because they were focused on the Soviets. A couple at the top got pinched but the vast majority who lived through the war didn’t get harsh punishment.

    How many of these coward fucks would quit if they knew there could be consequences for their actions?

    I like this plan.
