States that can't get the names of the SEAL team members because those are protected as part of the "official powers" of the POTUS. Can't prosecute them if you can't find out who they are. What's a state gonna do?

Once again, that's not what the SCOTUS said. That information is not privileged. It simply can't be admitted into evidence in a criminal trial in order to establish motivation for, or inchoate criminal liability from, the immune acts.

Immunity has nothing to do with discoverability.
