Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) is promising to take action against federal agents if he’s elected governor.
In his desperate attempt to win favor with the far-left voters in his state, Swalwell joined MS Now (formerly MSNBC) to reveal his plan to punish Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents for doing their jobs. Imagine a lawmaker campaigning for office on the promise of exposing law enforcement, who are just performing their duties and enforcing the federal laws that people like Swalwell put in place, in the interest of protecting those who are in the country illegally.
It would almost be satire if it weren’t playing out on the news on a Tuesday night while the rest of the country gears up to ring in the new year.

“What would you do if you are able to be elected as governor of California? Yes, we’ve seen over just not just one year of this new regime, that it’s the states that tend to be the strongest pushback. It’s the governors of Illinois, it’s the governor of Michigan, governor of Virginia, Maryland, everything else like that. What will you bring to the table? Because California, just by size and GDP alone, is sort of the tip of the spear. What would you bring to the table as a governor of California?” Swalwell was asked, prompting him to explain how he would use the “immense powers” of the seat to oppose President Donald Trump.
“Well, you have immense powers as governor of California, and your responsibility to protect the most vulnerable in the state. So if the president is going to send ICE agents to chase immigrants through the fields where they work, what I’m going to do is make sure that they take off their masks and show their faces, that they show their identification. And if they commit crimes that they’re going to be charged with crimes, if it’s falsely imprisoning people, if it’s kidnapping, if it’s assault battery, they’re going to be held accountable,” the leftist lawmaker said. “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.”
