Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) said on Tuesday that he plans to “go on offense” against federal agents in California, charging them with crimes and preventing them from driving in the state.
If elected governor in November, “what I’m going to do is make sure that they take off their masks and show their faces, that they show their identification, and if they commit crimes, that they’re going to be charged with crimes,” Swalwell said on MS NOW’s All In.
“I also think if the governor has the ability to issue driver’s licenses to people in California,” he continued, “if you’re going to wear a mask and not identify yourself, you’re not going to be eligible to drive a vehicle in California.” Yet, they’ll still allow illegal aliens to obtain driver’s licenses.
However, Swalwell may not even be eligible to run for Governor of California, given his lack of a California residence for the past five years.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, despite being an elected representative for the state of California, Swalwell does not have a home in California and has listed Washington, DC as his primary residence. Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte has submitted a criminal referral to the Department of Justice for mortgage fraud.
Still, Swalwell’s current plan is to fight off federal officials to protect illegal aliens and criminals, who he describes as “the most vulnerable in our community.”
WATCH:
Swalwell: You have immense powers as governor of California, and your responsibility is to protect the most vulnerable in the state. So, if the President is going to send ICE agents to chase immigrants through the fields where they work, what I’m going to do is make sure that they take off their masks and show their faces, that they show their identification, and if they commit crimes, that they’re going to be charged with crimes. If it’s falsely imprisoning people, if it’s kidnapping, assault battery, they’re going to be held accountable.
I also think if the governor has the ability to issue driver’s licenses to people in California, if you’re going to wear a mask and not identify yourself, you’re not going to be eligible to drive a vehicle in California. There is a lot you can do, but most importantly, you have to go on offense. Otherwise, the most vulnerable in our community will always be on defense.
Swalwell’s attempts to arrest ICE agents could also land him in prison if the Department of Justice ever gets serious about taking on lawless officials in sanctuary states.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche sent a sternly worded letter to sanctuary state leaders in October, threatening “criminal conspiracy” charges for their illegal actions “impeding immigration or other law-enforcement operations.”

Another America hating Democrat.
And that is when 7th Light and 1st MarDiv comes into play.
He should feel free to make a citizens arrest. He has no mouse in his pocket.
Swalwell is one of the most pea-brained democrats out there and that is saying something considering the competition.
Calif will elect him, watch.
They eat this crap up.
I wonder who will get arrested first.
Sounds like the Confederates at Fort Sumter.
This former New Hampshire state Democrat on the Left is Bruce "Stacie" Laughton, a sick tranny who lived with some other person, and the two of them had the most disgusting text messages about what they wanted to do with three year old toddlers that one of them photographed in the daycare's bathrooms.
THAT is Eric Swalwell's "crowd". Who he supports.
Eric Swalwell is a prime example why some people shouldn’t be allowed to breed.
What a useless piece of human debris this moron is...
What does Fang Fang think?
And a wedding ring.,
oh Lord, someone even crazier than Californication’s existing administration???????????
no wonder the insane asylums closed. even the psychiatrists couldn’t cope with the craziness !!!
Which we already have a surplus of.
This guy is such a tool. Sad thing is he’ll probably get elected.
What a moron. He can’t ‘revoke’ DLs issued by another state, and for the agents with Cali licenses, I’ll bet they could just be issued federal/State Dept licenses in lieu.
