A federal appeals court has blocked California's law requiring federal agents, including ICE officers, to display identification. The Ninth Circuit three-judge panel issued the block after a March 3 hearing and made it an injunction pending appeal. Judge Mark J. Bennett wrote the law "attempts to directly regulate the United States in its performance of governmental functions" and violates the Supremacy Clause. The panel included two Trump appointees, Bennett and Patrick B. Collins, and one Obama appointee, Duy Le Nguyen.
