The Ninth Circuit ruled that a California law generally requiring federal law enforcement officers, including immigration agents, to display identification during operations violates the Supremacy Clause. Reason says the ruling reaffirms a preliminary view the court gave in April when it considered an injunction pending appeal. The Federalist reports the three-judge panel was unanimous and that the ruling concerned Section 10 of the state's No Vigilantes Act. The Blaze adds that critics of ICE operations say masked, unidentifiable agents pose risks to targets and the public, and quotes the court saying the Act could not be valid in any circumstances.
