    The same police who are supplying ICE “agents”? And/or who implicitly agreeing with and ignoring the presence of ICE in their own city? I’m sure this will resolve quickly, then!

      1. Tell cops to arrest ICE

      2. Arrest cops who refuse with every imaginable charge

      3. Count on cops to be cowards

      You’re also drastically over estimating how much cops like ICE. Assholes rarely like other assholes showing up, it’s a territory thing.

      But like …

          I’m saying we need to do something, and your argument is we aren’t doing it?

          unless I’m missing something obvious?

          I think the issue is being able to put a couple thoughts together, you’re not missing any necessary information, you’re just not putting it together
