(AP Photo/Jeff Chiu) Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) vowed that if he becomes California’s next governor he will revoke the driver’s licenses of any ICE agents — or “a**holes” as he put it — who wear masks while driving. Swalwell shared his plan during a summit hosted by the Empowerment Congress in Los Angeles on Saturday. The nonprofit group aims to “fight racial and economic disparities, using tools like annual summits, partnerships, and community training programs to educate, engage, and empower residents,” according to its website. Here is what the Democratic rep said after being asked how he will “protect” Californians from ICE: They’re going to lose their immunity, they’re not gonna be able to drive. I will take your driver’s license. Good luck walking to work, a**holes. Swalwell continued, saying “I will direct law enforcement to use every power to prosecute them for battery, false imprisonment, and murder. You know me, I’m not shy.” He pointed to teaming up with Sen. Adam Schiff (D) to push the claim President Donald Trump colluded with Russia to win the 2016 election as one example he is not bashful.

The Hill reported Swalwell is working with Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY) to introduce a bill that would strip ICE agents of their qualified immunity protections. Their plan comes after Democratic politicians have condemned ICE and anti-ICE protests have erupted across the country following the shooting death of Renee Good in Minneapolis earlier this month. “Trump’s ICE thugs inflict cruelty on our communities every day. Enough. I’m fighting to end impunity for ICE and hold them accountable for their actions,” Swalwell posted on Facebook earlier this week. Swalwell told the Empowerment Congress crowd on Saturday there is “only one side of the ball to be on on behalf of Californians when it comes to ICE, and it’s offense.” He is vying to follow Gavin Newsom as California’s next governor when the state votes later this year.

Thousands gathered in Copenhagen and other cities across Denmark to protest against President Donald Trump’s push to “acquire” Greenland on Saturday. The “Hands Off Greenland” protests also had supporters rallying on the massive island, where CNN captured footage of protesters waiving the territory’s red-and-white flag in the capital city of Nuuk. CNN journalist Nick Robertson reported live from Greenland and said everyone he spoke with had the same “simple” message:  “Greenland’s not for sale!” “Ask anyone on the streets, as we did today, and that was the message,” Robertson said. Robertson estimated one-third or up to one-half of the town’s 20,000 residents attended the protest. Signs in the crowd included one reading “No Means No!’ and another that said “Mark Rutte You’re Fired!” — referring to NATO’s secretary general. France 24 also captured the protest in Copenhagen, where protesters had signs like “Yankee Go Home!” and another that read “Make America Go Away!” CNN’s report was made soon after Trump slapped a 10% tariff on eight European countries over his Greenland ambitions. The president said the tariffs will start on February 1 and will continue until a deal is made for the U.S. to acquire Greenland, which he has argued is vital for national security purposes. Trump started his Saturday morning Truth Social post out by saying: We have subsidized Denmark, and all of the Countries of the European Union, and others, for many years by not charging them Tariffs, or any other forms of remuneration. Now, after Centuries, it is time for Denmark to give back — World Peace is at stake! China and Russia want Greenland, and there is not a thing that Denmark can do about it. They currently have two dogsleds as protection, one added recently. Only the United States of America, under PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP, can play in this game, and very successfully, at that! Nobody will touch this sacred piece of Land, especially since the National Security of the United States, and the World at large, is at stake. Danish Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen went to the White House earlier this week to talk with Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Vice President JD Vance about the president’s plan. He said Trump’s ambitions are “totally unacceptable” to Danes and Greenlanders, but that the U.S. and Denark would “continue to talk” about a deal. Trump is pushing for that deal to happen sooner than later, based on his remarks on Saturday. Watch above.
