Best outcome is giving states more legal grounding for refusing to aid the feds.
I work in municipal government, and while my current city hasn't had any direct issues with ICE, my old town had them trying to use city hall as a base of operation. The city was lucky in that the parking lot layout was weird because it was built around existing trees, and the only place long enough for the prison busses was the fire lane, so the fire department was able to force them to move and they just ended up leaving town because they didn't want to deal with the hassle.
