It’s unclear if they might. I personally have no idea.
I have heard from some people at oregon protests that our police are tired of ICE. Doesn’t mean all of them, but this legal backstop we have sort of annoys them enough to hate ICE.
I think they’re annoyed with ICE for the wrong reasons. They don’t like having an even more unaccountable militarized force in their cities. That’s their job.
I think we’ll see cops leaving to join ICE far sooner than we actually see cops turning against them.
Spoiler: they won’t.
