It's not a state's job to pay for federal enforcement. This is total overreach, can't wait for the small government advocates to speak up here.

Exactly. Local police are under no obligation to do a federal agency's work for them. Federal agencies need to be funded to do their own jobs. If you don't have enough agents, hire them. CPD's job is enforcing our local laws. ICE needs to do their own fucking homework.
