The law, passed in 2025, would have required federal immigration agents to display badges or some form of identification while enforcing immigration laws. The Trump administration filed a lawsuit in November challenging the law, arguing it would threaten the safety of officers who are facing harassment, doxing, and violence. The administration also claimed the law violated the constitution because the state was directly regulating the federal government. A three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals issued an injunction pending appeal Wednesday. The court had previously granted a temporary administrative injunction to block the implementation of the law.
