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.”
