One thing we can all agree on: our Founders weren’t fools. They built a republic on a system of laws, creating a brilliant, if sometimes messy, balance between federal power and states’ rights. This constitutional framework is the glue that has held this nation together for over two centuries. It’s what separates us from a banana republic.
However, that entire system relies on leaders who genuinely respect it. When a radical politician decides our Constitution is just a list of suggestions—to be ignored when it gets in the way of their agenda—the whole structure is put at risk. It’s a recipe for disaster, and the ingredients are being mixed right now in California.
This isn’t some academic debate. A California Democrat with his eye on the governor’s mansion just unveiled his plan, and it is a breathtaking assault on law and order itself.
From ‘The Post Millennial’:
“Well, you have immense powers as governor of California and your responsibility to protect the most vulnerable in the state,” Swalwell said. “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,” he continued. “If it’s falsely imprisoning people, if it’s kidnapping, if it’s assault, battery, they’re going to be held accountable.”
A Disgraced Politician’s Dangerous Pledge
And who is the author of this brilliant plan? You guessed it: Rep. Eric Swalwell, a politician whose name is synonymous with poor judgment. This is the same congressman who was notoriously duped by a Chinese Communist Party spy named Fang Fang, getting so close that the FBI had to intervene. A man who couldn’t see through a CCP honeypot now wants to run the fifth-largest economy in the world. What could go wrong?
In a recent interview, Swalwell promised to weaponize state power against federal immigration officers. He isn’t talking about filing lawsuits; he’s talking about putting American law enforcement officers in handcuffs for “kidnapping” and “assault” because they dared to enforce our nation’s laws. He even threatened to revoke their driver’s licenses.
Let’s call this what it is: a deranged fantasy from a compromised politician who is more interested in pandering to the radical Left than upholding his oath to the Constitution.
Who Is Really Being Protected?
To justify this madness, Swalwell spins a pathetic little morality play about protecting “the most vulnerable” from ICE. He wants you to picture noble farmworkers being ruthlessly hunted. But the reality of who these agents are removing from our streets is something he desperately hopes you ignore.
Take, for instance, a recent ICE raid on an illegal marijuana farm in California. The operation successfully rounded up 361 illegal immigrants. Buried in that group were convicted criminals, including predators found guilty of rape and child molestation. These are the “vulnerable” individuals Swalwell’s policies would shield.
His plan to prosecute ICE agents wouldn’t keep families together; it would keep violent felons in our neighborhoods, free to find their next victim. When Democrats champion these open-border policies, they are knowingly providing cover for the worst dregs of society.
An Attack on the Rule of Law
Beyond the sheer insanity of protecting rapists, Swalwell’s plan is constitutionally illiterate. A state governor has absolutely no authority to arrest federal agents for lawfully executing their duties. That’s not an opinion; it’s a foundational principle of American law established by the Supremacy Clause. Any attempt to do so would be laughed out of court, assuming it didn’t spark a major constitutional crisis first.
For the last five years, Democrats have screeched about “threats to our democracy” and the “weaponization of government.” Now, one of their own is openly plotting a scheme that borders on sedition, and the silence from his party is deafening. This is what their hypocrisy looks like in broad daylight.
Swalwell’s unhinged promise is more than just a gaffe. It’s a trial balloon for the entire progressive movement, a glimpse into their endgame: a nation where laws are optional, citizenship is worthless, and the safety of Americans is sacrificed for a radical political agenda. This is the chaos they crave, and patriots must never let it happen.
