    But now the state police or city cops can arrest an ICE agent if they identify themselves as such while masked, right? That’s s step in the right direction.

      Assuming they actually enforce the law… how many laws are passed that don’t get enforced… I mean look at the felon in the White House. Dude should be in a cell for life but here we are.

      Expect the feds to invoke the Supremacy Clause and claim being arrested interferes with them executing their duty as a federal agent. They are going to blatantly ignore this law. We’re not going to win this by pitting just state laws against unjust federal agents.
