I keep saying this, but if dems in blue cities/states really want to push back against Trump's revoking of federal funding as a weapon then they should cut off gas/electricity/water to ICE buildings in their cities/states.

I keep saying this, but if dems in blue cities/states really want to push back against Trump's revoking of federal funding as a weapon then they should cut off gas/electricity/water to ICE buildings in their cities/states. THAT is a huge point of leverage that they have over the feds. Just because the blue city/states might have to house a federal ICE facility doesn't mean they have to service them with water/electricity/gas. Send the city inspector(s) out and shut off the pipes to federal ICE facilities as a way to get the Trump admin to start compromising. Let's see ICE organize mass deportations when they can't turn on their office computers or flush their toilets.
Under the Supremacy Clause and Supreme Court cases dating back to McCulloch v. Maryland, that would be illegal and would be shut down FAST. If municipal governments in Blue states aren't perceptive enough to realize that, their State governments certainly are.
Y’know those signs in many public places about maximum capacity per fire marshal? Does exceeding that after a big round up make an ICE building illegal?

Dang. I like how you think. Not sure it would pass legal scrutiny but it would sure make me happy.
