Tangentially related.
I know a very reliable guy that is...let’s say....middle management at the New York State Police. The Troopers are now being instructed (verbally) to treat any entrance on to State property by Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE) as trespassing. New York State Troopers are being instructed to confront ICE agents on all State property and ask them to leave State property immediately. If it comes to it, they are tell them they are trespassing on State property.
[cont.]
The only exception to the unwritten policy is if the ICE agents have a judicial order in hand.
Pardon me, but I just don’t think NY State Police have the balls for a standoff with Federal officials who have a substantial answer for the old question of, “Yeah? You and what army?”
I have the same info from my buds at LAPD. HOWEVER, have you ever thought what would happen if state STOPS FEDS? Seriously, does the local police have the jurisdiction to stop Homeland Security or the FBI? I know a direct source who told me the cops at LAPD HQ couldnt stop Homeland agents from going to their detention cells and had to call the acting superintendent..
