Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) vowed that if elected to be the next governor of California, he would take away driver’s licenses from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.
While speaking at an event by the Empowerment Congress, Swalwell was asked about his plan to “protect” people in the state from ICE agents, according to Mediaite.
Swalwell explained that he would “direct law enforcement” officials to use “every power to prosecute” ICE officials for “battery, false imprisonment, and murder,” according to the outlet.
“They’re gonna lose their immunity,” Swalwell said. “They’re not going to be able to drive, I will take your driver’s license. Good luck walking to work, a**holes.”

Put a tracker chip in all illegals and send them to these sanctuary states (the whole West Coast, Minn, NY, etc).
If they cross the state border, the chip sends location and they’re sent to some sanctuary gulag in the Arctic.
You want ‘em? You got ‘em.

I could feel sorry for the people of California but every serious problem they have, they voted for. The smart people have already left and illegal aliens and other foreigners practically own the state.

If Swalwell were any dumber, he could run for Congress.

That’s the ticket! Hand out commercial drivers licenses to low IQ illegals from third world countries who have no ability to read road signs or even care what they say but deny them to U.S. citizens in law enforcement. Swalwell is as backwards, treacherous and stupid as he looks.

How is Pharrell authorized to take away drivers’ licenses issued in other states? Also, I expect CA stands to lose a big chunk of Congressional seats and Electoral votes once the illegal aliens are removed, along with all the government money they are sucking up. Not sorry about the pun.

More than anything in this world, Swalwell is begging for--craves--a thorough whipping painful enough to close his subversive mouth. Really, he wants it.

This man is running for governor of a US state and used the word ‘arseholes’ in public? I learned, at a young age, that using profanity is a sign of an immature mind. Has there ever been a bigger putz?

Swalwell said this weeks ago. He may not be on thd ballot as he also "vows" that his primary residence is in the DC area.

Seen this type of stuff in multiple stories. Apparently, the Democratic platform for 2026 and beyond will be persecute their political enemies. That's not governing folks and more than enough reason to not vote for them.

Swalwell was born and raised in Iowa.
Swalwell is a representative, elected by his fdistrict, not the entire state.
There are 5,776,356 registered Republican voters in California. How many in your state?

No doubt ICE Agents and Border Patrol Agents use their California drivers licenses both when they are on duty enforcing the Federal immigration laws and in their everyday private lives. In the unlikely event that Swalwell is elected as the Governor of California and “takes away” the California drivers licenses that were lawfully issued and used by ICE Agents and Border Patrol Agents in California that would amount to formal obstruction of ICE and Border Patrol law enforcement duties on a large scale. So no doubt Swalwell could expect to then be criminally prosecuted in the Federal Courts for obstructing ICE and Border Patrol law enforcement operations on a large scale, and no doubt would also be sued civilly by all the involved ICE and Border Patrol Agents for unlawfully discriminating against them. Hopefully those Federal law enforcement officers would receive large personal payouts from Swalwell by way of such civil court actions.

Doesn't this azzzz realize that not all ICE cops are native Kalifornians...where does he get off thinking he can confiscate licenses from other states??? And he wants to run for President???
The Ring of Fire needs to activate and slide this state into the Pacific, after all the conservatives and their businesses leave..

Swalwell is polling at 12%, ahead of Katie Porter (11%) but even with Republican Steve Hilton and one point behind Republican Sheriff Bianco.

This is vintage Swalwell, who gets attention by running his mouth off with some outrageous idea never thinking it through, as in the case of taking away the drivers licenses of ICE agents, which only means ICE will have to contract with private transportation companies, which will not even slow ICE down but also create HUNDREDS of jobs in the private sector. Ever heard of LUC, Eric, the Law of Unintended Consequences? And how’s your residence-of-record fraud case coming, Eric?

Typical liberal tactic. Promise something you cannot deliver, knowing the sheeple will cheer you on.
