They need to start deploying resources to protect their citizens from ICE invasion.
That would be police and as they say ACAB because those guys are probably high fiving each other whenever ICE ices someone.
Yeah, but giving them a direct order and having them defy it would be an illuminating moment for the general public to witness
I mean that's happened a lot now, there's been many instances of mayors and city councils at odds with their police forces and well... The police have the guns so it usually goes nowhere.
In the city I grew up in the police union ran the police chief out of town after two cops were caught doing drugs on duty in their cruzers. Police chief wanted to regularly drug test his police force saying "if we enforce these laws we better follow these laws." Union took him to court said it violated their rights. He was stalked and harassed by his own police force. The police union won in court. I'd call that defying a direct order and the city yawned and moved on way back in 2007 when it happened.
Source: worked in local news and we ran multiple stories on this over the course of several months. The public was absolutely informed about it.
And then fire them if they refuse to obey orders. Police are not all powerful.
I'm going to quote something I wrote in June of 2020 regarding the idea of police abolition or replacing current police with new officers while also changing the way policing works entirely:
Cry more.
There are almost 4x as many ICE agents in Minneapolis as there are police officers.
If the job of protecting their communities is too tough for them they can quit, but if they like the badge and the pension and all the preferential treatment they get from people nows the time to earn it
The mayor needs to be ordering the local police to conduct a manhunt for the murderer, raiding and arresting any ICE who try to harbor him.
Arm the population
Please the cops will help ICE unfortunately.
