JUST IN: California tried forcing federal officers to display ID while on duty. A federal appeals court just said no. California’s “No Vigilantes Act” would have required federal law enforcement officers working in the state to show identification while on duty. A panel of judges on the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals said California cannot do this. States are not allowed to regulate the federal government this way unless Congress specifically authorizes it—a principle known as “intergovernmental immunity.” As a result, the court ordered a preliminary injunction blocking the law from being enforced against federal officers. The U.S. government “is certain to succeed,” the unanimous panel said.
