In a unanimous 3-0 decision in US v. California, a federal appeals court has enjoined California's "No Vigilantes Act," the state law designed to force ICE agents to wear visible identification during enforcement operations. The court didn't hedge or split hairs: when state law directly regulates the federal government's performance of its functions, the Supremacy Clause voids it — full stop.This is a stinging rebuke of Governor Gavin Newsom's deliberate strategy to obstruct federal immigration enforcement through legislation. The panel, authored by Trump-appointee Judge Mark Bennett, rejected California's public safety fig leaf outright, ruling that constitutional supremacy isn't subject to a balancing test. "The Supremacy Clause forbids the State from enforcing such legislation." Done.This is the second blow to California's anti-ICE legal campaign in two months — and another courtroom victory for the Trump administration. The Constitution is not a menu from which ambitious governors get to order selectively. Today, the 9th Circuit made sure Newsom knows it.Join me LIVE at 11 AM ET as I break it all down!Episode #1301.
