I agree that the fed cant force the local police agencies to act as federal agents.
We’ve got Americans lay dead in the streets of Democrat santuary cities. Don’t be a “useful idiot” for those murdering Democrats by defacto supporting their position.
Useful idiot? Look in the mirror fool.
States are sovereign from the federal bureaucracy or have you forgotten that constitutional fact?
States SHOULD enforce federal law by ordering their forces to work with federal agents - but the fed has no authority over those forces directly and thats how it should be.
Now if a state doesnt want to enforce federal law than the fed has every right to withhold funds to the state for its police forces - just as they did with highway funding and speed limit enforcements.
