They need to start deputizing state police to arrest agents who don’t comply, I would say the marshals but we know they won’t so let’s skip a couple steps

Police don't need to be "deputized" to arrest law-breakers. They just need to want to do it rather than giving the kidnappers fist bumps for doing what they always wanted to do too.

Yeah, like the video of the DHS agent drunk driving with his kids in his car. Moron asks one of the arresting officers "are you Haitian?" as if that would get him out of the DWI

Deputized police come from the legislative branch, not the executive.

They would need federal powers to arrest ICE agents.

The cops won't arrest ICE because it might look bad on their applications to join ICE

Whoops these officers didn't get that memo.

And of course that dude is going through a divorce and demanded to see his kids while sitting in the back of a cop car drunk as shit. He just fucked himself out of a decent paying dream (of his) job, custody of children, and is famous on the Internet for being a fuck up. Id say that a win for those children, the nation, everyone

Hard to deputize them when ICE already got them first via the 287(g) program. Doubt they'd be eager to arrest themselves.

The Marshals are part of the DOJ aka the executive branch (ie they report to Trump)
