I mean, there could be. The government of Illinois could make it happen, they definitely outnumber ICE right now.
Authorized representatives of the state using force to arrest members of ICE for violating specific court orders and committing acts that literally everyone can see are crimes, doesn’t escalate to ICE randomly retaliating against every protestors as they’ve been itching to do (which is what happens if protestors start using force against ICE). Authorized representatives with a clear mandate from the people of the state, and the law, is a whole different narrative ballgame than trying to defend ourselves forcibly.
I legitimately don’t understand what the holdup is about arresting them (other than not being sure their exact identities, but that can be addressed for future incidents with some advance planning). I mean that seriously. It doesn’t make sense in all states or situations, but in Chicago, I actually think it does.
Because there is no rule of law in America anymore.
