This is a SLIGHTLY different case than what the sidebar mentions.
Yes, asking asking the police to investigate themselves is a non-starter.
This post is advocating turning the state/local police against ICE, a federal agency.
I agree, it’s unlikely to make a difference. But if you call 9-1-1 and report “Masked men in an unmarked car just kidnapped someone”, it’s way different from asking internal affairs to investigate another cop.
How does this post even make sense in this community? literally written in the sidebar:

Thank you for responding. While I don’t agree I can see your reasoning and appreciate your approach of communicating it in a transparent way.
After making the comment we ended up with a live example. LAPD escorting CBP off the grounds of Dodger Stadium. So local pressure CAN be applied.
More than 600 local police agencies are partnering with ICE: See if yours is one of them
I love living in Illinois.
They use FUD against us.
Perhaps we can too?
Nah who’m I kidding
The ICE and Police are more organised while kidnapping people than they would be when trying to arrest an actual criminal.
So, just generating reports?
Establishing a paper trail for subsequent investigations, yes.
By whom?
Justice department, congress? Whoever has the power to investigate ICE.
So nobody.
When an employee is investigated by hr that’s the company investigating itself and people get fired that way.
The point is calling their bluff
