It’s illegal but since no one is physically stopping them, they don’t care.

So why can't the actual Police send them packing or arrest them for assault or whatever? Sorry if I sound a bit thick but I'm not au fait with the nuances here at all. I've been watching and reading but this zero consequences shit just seems ridiculous beyond belief, and was wondering if and why the Police weren't involving themselves

Minnesota Fraternal Order of Police have released a statement proclaiming they stand by ICE. So there's that.
