    Maybe not. That only says federal laws take precedence over conflicting state laws, but executive orders are not federal laws, plus violating a law is violating a law (I imagine they’ll abuse qualified immunity though).

    While I hate to continue the partisan approach to justice, that applies here too, if the next administration doesn’t support the current fascism

      Qualified immunity is only protection from civil litigation. It does nothing to prevent criminal charges.
