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.
Since we are losing funding over it, we may as well actually use our sanctuary status.
In Oregon, no state law enforcement can help with immigration enforcement in any way. On or off duty. Document it and call 1-844-924-STAY.
There are also laws protecting people from any arrest while at a court hearing, such as citizenship things, but we’ll see if those hold up.
Spoiler: they won’t.
