new California law requiring federal immigration agents to wear identification during their operations was permanently slapped down by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.

Critics of Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations say masked and unidentifiable agents pose a risk to illegal alien targets as well as the greater public.

On Wednesday, the three-judge panel of the appeals court said the state could not restrict federal operations without congressional approval.

"We conclude ... the No Vigilantes Act attempts to directly regulate the United States in its performance of governmental functions," Judge Mark J. Bennett wrote. "No set of circumstances exist under which the Act would be valid."

The ruling said the law violated the Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution. The U.S. Department of Justice had sued to stop the identification law as well as another restriction barring federal agents from using masks during operations.

In April, the same court struck down a similar restriction issued by California.

NY Democratic Socialists Boss Railed Against Landlords. His Rich Parents Rented Out Their Florida Mansion for $18,000 a Month, Bought Him a $1 Million NYC Home.


Gustavo L. Gordillo, the embattled co-chair of New York City's chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America, has made a name for himself railing against property ownership, landlords, and real estate investors who enjoy robust rates of return.

"It's time to take over apartments owned by landlords freeloading off hardworking taxpayers," Gordillo, 38, posted on social media in June.

But Gordillo—a Yale-educated art-world staffer turned fired union electrician who once proclaimed that "inheritance is DEI for white people"—may want to take a look at the eye-popping rents charged by his wealthy parents, who’ve heavily subsidized his life.

Gustavo E. and Elizabeth Gordillo are successful real estate investors who recently rented out a Florida mansion they own for $18,000 a month. For six years, their socialist son lived in a nearly $1 million Brooklyn home owned by the couple, who had paid the younger Gustavo’s rent for at least three years prior. He’s now living elsewhere while the Brooklyn home undergoes an extensive, $1.4 million roof-raising renovation his parents have bankrolled.

As soon as we make changes to the Supreme Court...
