Understand that exactly this law has already been ruled unconstitutional, preempted by that document’s Supremacy Clause by the 9th Circuit, the country’s most liberal court. Lamont knows that;, and so do State’s Attorney Tong and Judiciary Committee chairman Steven Stafstrom, yet they’re committing the state to hudreds of thousands of dollars in litigation costs for the sole purpose of virtue signalling on a sunny May afternoon.

9th Circuit blocks California limits on anonymous immigration agents

A federal appeals court on Wednesday struck down California’s requirement that masked federal agents identify themselves, a blow to the state’s ongoing resistance to the Trump administration’s deportation program.
A 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals panel handed down a ruling prohibiting California from enforcing a section of the 2025 law that mandates federal law enforcement officers visibly display identification while carrying out their duties.
The law was destined to face critical scrutiny from the federal judiciary. An 1890 Supreme Court case provides that a state cannot prosecute federal law enforcement officers acting in the course of their duties.
The law also ran headlong into the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution, which holds that states may not regulate the operations of the federal government.

In a statement on Friday, Gov. Ned Lamont said he was “looking forward to signing the bill into law.”
“The people of Connecticut should not fear for their safety when visiting hospitals, schools, and religious and government buildings. The provisions included in this bill include commonsense measures to protect peoples’ constitutional rights from federal overreach,” said Lamont.

By “the people of Connecticut” Lamont means illegal aliens, as does his fellow moron, Chairman of the CT House Judiciary Committee Steven Stafstrom, who said “people are more concerned to go to the hospital or appear in court because they’re afraid of encountering federal agents and being detained.”

If someone who isn’t supposed to be here in the first place is made “more concerned” when appearing in court after being arrested for committing yet another crime, or showing up for taxpayer-funded “free” medical care, well, I don’t share that concern.

Here’s Mr. Stafstrom — as a partner at PUllman & Comley, he charges $900 hour for legal advice. If that advice is as sound as the guidance he gave the state in this instance, his clients may want to demand a refund.
