    To play devils advocate, there are the same number of 911 operators, and if the police are sent, they’ll most likely end up helping the federal employees in anger.

      That’s exactly what they do every time they show up when people call them. All you’re doing is calling for backup for them.

        I mean, ACAB, but law enforcement is notoriously very proud when it comes to jurisdiction. Generally they’re not fans of feds steamrolling their authority.

          I’m going off news reports where the LAPD has shown up to kidnapping calls and kept the crowd back so they could abduct people.

          They are explicitly instructed to ‘keep the peace’ as ICE abducts people.

          If you have any examples of this actually doing anything other than giving cover to ICE I’d be open to seeing it.

            I think the hope is that they’ll eventually get tired of being cucked. I dunno how valid that theory is though.

              Admittedly it’s more copium than anything else. It’s not like ICE needs the backup, the way I see it either it’ll make no significant difference or it’ll spark a jurisdiction pissing match
