So will local and state police now do their jobs and arrest ICE agents flaunting their state’s laws? At some point they need to choose sides.

Not a lawyer, but I’m going to guess this will matter more for court cases from ICE. Evidence of wearing a mask? Instant dismissal

I don’t see how. These will be federal offense tried in federal courts. Additionally I don’t see how that would even invalidate the crimes the accused is facing.

Now too be clear I do like this law. It will interfere with ICE. I just don’t see the grounds for courts to use it to throw out cases
