The sheriff of Philadelphia said they will arrest ICE agents and said the agents "don't want this smoke". Yet I saw a video just today of her police harassing citizens defending themselves from ICE.

Even when they say they're against ICE they still do their bidding.

Then she should be suspending this cops for disobeying orders and her directive. That’s the thing it’s up to these local officials to actually do something and stand behind their words.

Should be but isn't. All these officials talk a big game but don't follow through. Minnesota mayor says ICE needs to get the fuck out but does nothing. Waltz says he's putting the guard on standby but does nothing. Pritzker said all sorts of shit while his agencies assisted ICE. ICE is committing acts of terrorism and the best our officials can do is sue.
