ICE is being used by Trump as a terrorist unit that “disappears” people - immigrants, dissenters, probably anyone who Trump doesn’t like in the future.
Is ICE a federal agency? If so, is it under Trump’s direct control? Do the states have any say in what ICE can do in their territory and what not? Can the state’s governor instruct the state’s police force to stop ICE?
Can it be reasonably demanded by the people that blue states take a stance against ICE by instructing their police to stop or hinder ICE? Has that been done so far?
The reason why this matter is very clearly because Trump is using ICE to terrorize the people, to intimidate political opponents and disappear dissenters. Can the state protect people within its own territory?

I think all of this was answered by the deployment of Marines in LA in violation of the Posse Comitatus Act.
