I think the current ICE force has some capacity, but, more will be needed to carry out mass deportations. All those new officers will need training. So, it will take some time for that aspect to get up to speed.
The victimization continues with cities and mayor and councils that are labeled “sanctuary cities.” These cities are not purposefully protecting illegal entries to the country. Providing a degree of safety for this community by allowing police captains the right to assign officers as they wish is a matter of “peacekeeping.”
There is a long history of what works and what doesn’t work in governance of these folks. Employment does a lot in creating peaceful communities. So, while the Rule of Law is vital to a democracy, creating governance that allows its safe practice is just as important. That is why governing authority have strategies to ensure peaceful communities while law enforcement does their work.
Any law enforcement officer is a human being, too. We know the DOJ has an effect on the tone of law enforcement to protect citizens’ lives. The last thing anyone wants is street violence that causes death to illegal immigrants that are otherwise law abiding and decent people. Americans can get caught in the crossfire, too. So, the approach to raids and mass deportations are important and Governors do have some say in the way federal officials handle themselves.
Basically, we all want the best outcomes with minimal trauma. I would expect good governance all the way around. Where good governance is replaced by hate should be met with equally sharp ridicule demanding peaceful outcomes for everyone. The hospitals can’t be expected to be in high alert 24/7.
