The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals on Wednesday issued an injunction blocking a California law that required Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials to refrain from wearing masks and to display their I.D.
"We conclude that § 10 of the No Vigilantes Act attempts to directly regulate the United States in its performance of governmental functions," the court wrote. "The Supremacy Clause forbids the State from enforcing such legislation. The United States is therefore likely to succeed on the merits of its Supremacy Clause claim, and the other preliminary injunction factors also weigh in its favor. Thus, we grant the motion for an injunction pending appeal.”
