A federal appeals court has blocked a California law requiring federal immigration agents to wear identification, ruling it violates the Constitution by attempting to directly regulate the U.S. government.

These measures, crafted in coordination with Stephen Miller, represent a dangerous and inhumane campaign of fear that will harm vulnerable families, undermine social trust, and pervert the role of public servants into immigration enforcers.
