Ok, we have to draw a strong line here.
Firefighters are one of the only categories that are universally agreed upon across every spectrum as a good force of humanity.

I really want to see states like Washington harness their state troopers to track down and "block" ice, or protect their constituents.

But maybe thts just came I live in a currently Red state (VA) that is working with ICE.
