"If the president is going to send ICE agents to chase immigrants through the fields where they work, what I'm going to is make them 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 said.
"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," Swalwell added.
Fox News Digital has reached out to the White House, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Department of Homeland Security.
A California law banning ICE officers from wearing masks while conducting operations was supposed to go into effect on Thursday.
The Department of Homeland Security has vowed not to comply with the measure and the Trump administration is suing the state over the issue. The law is on hold and a hearing is scheduled for Jan. 12.

"What’s even dumber about this is that Swalwell has a law degree and he even once made a living as a prosecutor," she wrote on X. "He knows about federal supremacy and that it is not possible for a state prosecutor to do any of the things he is promising. Oh, and he won’t ever be governor, either."
