Swalwell: As CA Gov I Will Charge ICE Agents, Take Away Their Drivers License

Pam Key 30 Dec 2025

Tuesday on MS NOW’s “All In,” Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) said if he became governor in California, he would charge ICE agents and take away their driver’s licenses if they commit crimes.

Host Jason Johnson said, “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 said, “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. 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.”

As a spy, one's standards tend to be pretty low.

But I'll bet she knows what "federalism" is, whereas Swalwell seems to have missed that lesson.

Am pretty sure an acting federal agent is not required to drive using a license.

Unfortunately, federal regulations generally mandate that federal employees have a valid state-issued license if they operate a motor vehicle in the course of performing their work duties.  I believe it’s generally supposed to be from their state of residence. 

As such, Swalwells threat would really only apply to federal agents who are residents of California, which just means that there is more incentive to bring in out of state agents.

Otherwise, the regulations should be amended now, and emergency temporary regulations issued providing that this sort of nonsense by Swalwell will not negate an agents ability to drive in the course of his federal employment if he had a valid license when employed.

In point of fact, now might be the time to create a federal drivers license for federal employees that is not subject to any state jurisdiction.

Every single illegal immigrant in California has committed a crime.  Will he take away their licenses, too?

Excitable Eric Swalwell Threatens ICE Agents If He Becomes Governor

There’s patronizing the base and then there’s recklessness, but, damn, I almost want to see him become California governor to see him try this

Federal law Trumps any pretext Swillwell could concoct.

Drivers licenses cannot be taken by fiat. What Swillwell proposes would be theft, and I do not think many police, sheriff, or CHP officer would be willing to commit what would probably be a career-ending felony.

Swalwell threatens to revoke driver's licenses of masked ICE agents operating in California
Story by Louis Casiano • 13h

Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-California., on Wednesday promised to revoke the driver's license of federal immigration agents who wear masks.

Swalwell, who is running for governor, appeared on MS NOW where he was asked about what he brings to the table as leader of the state.

In response, Swalwell said one of the governor's duties is to protect the state's most vulnerable populations.

Legal Question here: How does a Member of the HoR have the legal authority to revoke anyone's license?
