It would be nice… But I think we’re running into politicians discovering that the American police state is above the law.
I don’t think anyone wants to address the elephant in the room that even if the governor of a state had the balls to order state police to arrest ice agents, they wouldn’t obey the order.
Cops in Minnesota have already released press statements that they side with “law enforcement”, and you really can’t prosecute anyone if you aren’t able to detain them in the first place.
States need to start banning police fraternities and unions and firing any cop who isn’t willing to follow the rule of law.
I don’t think anyone wants to address the elephant in the room that even if the governor of a state had the balls to order state police to arrest ice agents, they wouldn’t obey the order.
I think the issue is more that if a governor did that, the president would use the CIA, and homeland security to kidnap that governor and their wife right or of their home and then call in the army to pacify the situation.
Or start deputizing people who will. Police say they won’t help? There’s plenty of people out there who will. The admin wants to claim it’s a Wild West city? Treat it like one.
Again… I’m not sure that officers would follow the orders even if you could find a police chief willing to stand up to the fraternal orders.
We’re in the age old “who watches the watchmen” scenario. Politicians over decades have empowered the police to protect their classes self interest to the point where we don’t really have a way to control them any more.

So just keep firing police chiefs until you find one who will.

They don’t exist.
Anybody can be police chief, there are no requirements or qualifications. I’m sure there’s at least one person that would.
I’m Canadian, but I’d do it. We’d have ICE whacking day like in the Simpsons.
