Court Blocks California ID Law for Immigration Agents

0:00It's April 22nd. From coast to coast, this is U.S. News Today, powered by AI, I'm Cory with the story. A ninth circuit appeals court just slammed the brakes on a California law from 2025 that demanded federal immigration agents flash, badges or IDs while on duty. The Trump administration hid back with a lawsuit in November, claiming the rule in dangerous officers amid rising harassment, doxing, and attacks, plus. It oversteeps by letting a state boss around federal ops. Folks on the ground say this ID mandate could have painted targets on agents' backs in tense areas, stirring up more clashes between local cops and feds. During raids or checks. Now a three-judge panel has locked in an injunction to halt the law until LaFoule appeals hearing hits Wednesday, building on their earlier temporary, freeze. With immigration enforcement heating up nationwide, expect this courtroom clash to ripple out and shape how states tangle with federal authority. Moving forward.
