This will have no effect on ICE. A state can’t regulate a federal police force.

I also don’t get the obsession of democrat politicians with protecting illegal immigrants. I don’t support ICE’s violation of constitutional rights or brutality. But blue states and cities are also just being obstructionist and sheltering criminals. It’s not unreasonable to deport illegal immigrants and this is going to hurt the chance of a midterm blue wave, not help it.

> blue states and cities are also just being obstructionist and sheltering criminals.

I always found cliché parroting fascinating. I grew up noticing it with less educated people in post communism, but never spent time learning about it. Online, I always just assume it’s bots, but even so, someone must be reading it too and silently approve. It must be the same philosophy as the ads that read “these 10 things everyone thinks are harmless are slowly killing you” with a picture of a glass of water.

California's similar law was struck down by court on the basis that states can't legislate federal agencies.

https://calmatters.org/justice/2026/04/immigration-mask-ban-...

> An 1890 Supreme Court case provides that a state cannot prosecute federal law enforcement officers acting in the course of their duties.

> The law also ran headlong into the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution, which holds that states may not regulate the operations of the federal government.
