Confrontations with ICE are the exception, not the rule. They are grabbing hundreds if not thousands of people successfully every single day. They claim almost universal jurisdiction and are not prohibited from operating anywhere, and ignore the law when they are anyway.

The national guard is not there because of any practical challenges of manpower. They are there to normalize the use of military assets to crush dissent, and to instigate a reason to declare martial law. This was likely planned by Project 2025 architects long before Trump took office.

Unless the local police are willing to draw down on federal agents this is hardly a speedbump.
