Ninth Circuit Rules California Law Requiring Federal Officers to Display ID Is Unconstitutional

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that a California law generally requiring federal law enforcement officers, including immigration agents, to display identification during operations cannot stand. Reports say the court found the provision, Section 10 of the state's No Vigilantes Act, violates the Supremacy Clause, and The Federalist says the panel was unanimous. Reason notes the decision confirms what the court said preliminarily in April when it granted an injunction pending appeal. The Blaze adds that critics of immigration enforcement argue masked, unidentifiable agents pose risks to targets and the public.
