I think you have a wildly inaccurate expectation of how that particular confrontation would go down. If you tried to get into a physical confrontation with a bunch of ICE agents, I don't think it's likely that it would be their bodies the local cops would have to deal with. Remember, these are heavily armed law enforcement folks who are trying to bring someone into custody/detention - and that they have to approached under the assumption that they might have access to a weapon.

I dunno. That description fits most local police these days. Body armor. Heavily armed. Seems like a pretty even fight, to be honest. There would be losses on both sides. And there is some question about the training of ICE/CBP officers lately. They've put thousands of new officers on the streets in the last few months. Training is said to be minimal just to get more bodies on the street. The local officers may actually be better trained and disciplined.
