I am sure they will totally abide by the judge's ruling. Totally. Yep. No doubt at all

"Since we are no longer allowed to use nonlethal munitions, we will now use lethal ones. I've always wanted to use white phosphorus on a protestor."

I'm not sure how this hasn't made it to your inbox, but when judges make decisions like this, ICE has been complying with them.

Maybe this means that the cops will arrest ICE

Pretty sure just shooting someone 3 times in the face is already illegal.

Not if you say “she was coming right at me!”

We're trusting that the murderers are going to follow the law? Did I miss something? Is murder legal now? Because if not, I see a pretty huge hole in that logic.

Did the judge empower local law enforcement to arrest and detain ICE agents?

This is a serious case of "STOP! Or I'll say STOP again!"
Fuck all will be done.

I really wish Robin Williams and perhaps George Carlin were still around to roast these turkeys.

There's no such thing as a "non-lethal" round.
Especially when they're aiming for your head.

The correct term is "less lethal" in fact. As in it's still lethal

Will I be less dead?

No, just a better chance of being alive. Although, you might be missing an eye or something.

That's not true. You can't kill someone with one of those Airzooka air blasters. Damn it I've tried. But yeah basically everything else...

Like they'll actually follow a Biden appointee.
Spoiler alert: they won't

I mean shit, they don't even follow rulings by tRump-appointed judges...

I want whatever the judge is smoking if they think this will stop them.

Nothing will stop them. Certainly not words. The average icehole can't read.
