    unlawful actions

    Uhhh… those are called crimes.

    I’m sorry, were ICE agents just entirely above the law before this ruling???

      Still are.

      Sure, the ruling says they CAN be arrested for doing illegal things. But are they going to be? Cop sees ICE beating down a brown person. Is the cop going to run over and arrest them?

      Or will they assist ICE?

        Depends on the city, and their leadership. Some cities have already directed their police specifically not to assist ICE. Not a huge jump from there to “treat them like a regular civilian”.
