California lawyers argued that the law applied equally to all law enforcement officers without discriminating against the U.S. government, and that it was important for public safety.

An appeals court has blocked a California law passed in 2025 requiring federal immigration agents to wear a badge or some form of identification.

The Trump administration filed a lawsuit in November challenging the law, arguing that it would threaten the safety of officers who are facing harassment, doxing, and violence and that it violated the constitution because the state is directly regulating the federal government.

    A postal vehicle can be stopped by police … but when they are stopped they must be let go within 15 minutes or be charged with delaying the mail service 18 U.S.C. § 1701–1703

    This would be enforced by a postal inspector and moved to a federal prosecutor (US Attorney) and the charge bypasses all qualified immunity.

    For this reason the police almost never mess with postal vehicles.
