BHM, the bolded parts are likely where liability comes in. Let the Feds assume the liability by getting a judicial warrant. - Lambo
"ICE issues an immigration detainer (Form I-247A) to federal, state, or local law enforcement agencies when they have probable cause to believe an individual in custody is a deportable non-citizen. These are typically issued for individuals convicted of, or charged with, serious crimes, or those posing a public safety/security threat.
Key details regarding when ICE issues a detainer:
Trigger Mechanism: Often triggered through the "Secure Communities" program, where fingerprint checks identify individuals in local custody.
Probable Cause Requirement: ICE must have information, such as a biometric match, final order of removal, or statements, indicating the person is removable.
Purpose: The detainer requests that local law enforcement maintain custody of the individual for up to 48 hours (excluding weekends/holidays) after their scheduled release date to allow ICE to assume custody.
Common Targets: Individuals with convictions for homicide, sexual assault, drug trafficking, or human trafficking, as well as repeat immigration violators.
Legal Nature: It is a formal request, not a judicial warrant, although it often accompanies an administrative warrant (Form I-200 or I-205)."

That is a good and reasonable list and I agree with you. I further agree that ICE has gone way past those guidelines and they need to step back. I never have favored removing the aliens who have been here for a long time, working, raising their family, and generally behaving lawfully. As an aside I don't believe in granting them citizenship either.
Now, will you agree with me that a criminal alien with a long rap sheet of prior convictions for serious crimes is deportable without the necessity of convicting him of any additional crime including whatever has gotten him arrested again? Refer to italicized "Common Targets" above.
