I told them to stop too. I said “hey ice, that’s illegal and you are being bad men and racist men and nazi nazzzi poopoooos!” And it had the same effect as this “law” will.

Cool, another law that will never be enforced
Does not matter if not one aresst them when it happens.
neat
Supremecy Clause goes brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Save
If an ICE officer is found breaking the newly enacted PROTECT Act, they face exposure to state-level civil lawsuits, formal prosecution threats by state officials, and extensive auditing, but they will not be arrested by local police.
Because of the Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution and federal immunity doctrines, a local police department does not have the legal authority to physically handcuff and jail a federal agent who is carrying out an immigration enforcement action, even if that action violates state law.
If they can’t be handcuffed or jailed, the state police will have to find some other way of stopping federal violent criminals.
Only one side is respecting the law
They’re also immune to everything mentioned in the first paragraph because of the Supremacy Clause.
Shit writing and dumb publicity stunt.
Massachusetts rocks.
But I state the obvious.
Nabbing someone when they’re showing up for a hearing or getting medical treatment or education is still complete dogshit, but let’s not let perfection get in the way of progress.
