The people that have ICE detainers on them have effectively criminal warrants out on them.

Says who? Not everyone in a jail hallway has a criminal warrant against them. Not everyone that has a criminal warrant out on them is guilty.

Yes it is. You're using a lot of handwaving here to basically explain why your feelings around your value judgements effectively override the law of the land.

What "law of the land"? There's no law that says local governments have to do this. They're not "overriding" the law of the land.

And we frequently use value judgments that aren't emotional to make choices on enforcement and allocation of law enforcement resources - which is why you can buy pot in many states, even though under federal law it's just the same as cocaine.

Great strawman, because no one's said they don't. Sanctuary cities don't have the authority to effectively override federal criminal warrants but here they are doing it every day.

Wait - these aren't federal criminal warrants. ICE has no power to issue a federal criminal warrant. These are detainer requests. They have no force of law. So they are entirely within the realm of what local governments are legally entitled to make decisions about.
