"He knows he would be putting ICE Agents and their families in mortal danger if he does what he threatens to do. He doesn’t care."
. . . "On August 16, 2025, Swalwell threatened that if Democrats regain control of the House in 2026, they will “unmask” ICE agents who wear masks to conceal their identities to protect them from from gangs and antifa-types.

From the comments to this post:
He made these statements outside the Well of the House. No speech and debate clause protection. When the House reconvenes the Speaker should put forth a censure motion for Swallows Well.
