I'm not so sure why this needs to be explained over and over again but here it goes again.......
ICE is the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. It's a federal agency responsible for immigration enforcement. Immigration enforcement is the responsibility of the federal government whose funding is solely for that purpose. Their budget is currently $10.042 billion dollars for 2025.
By contrast state and local law enforcement is funded by state and local taxpayers. It's use is intended and measured to enforce and investigate local and state crimes. Unlike ICE their budget can't just be increased at the drop of a hat because someone signs a piece of paper. Which is actually the job of congress but anyway.
So local and state police have very limited resources which is designated to do a certain job. That job does not include immigration enforcement. What you are suggesting is that these cities and states should take their limited resources which is designated to their police forces to investigate and police their local communities for other crimes and use it to supplement ICE.
If ICE needs more money and agents then they need to pay for that. Not drain the budget and resources from local law enforcement to help them do their job.
I don't think most people want their local police department to stop investigating who shot their brother or who stole their vehicle because those resources are bust elsewhere helping ICE. That's not what their tax money was paid to do.
Then of course you can't make a post without including BS you just made up in your brain.
More than likely to prevent them from uncovering their fraud and their financial gain coming from allowing the fraud. But excuse 1 and not the other.
