They don't want to risk a fire-fight.

If the police were the good guys, and ICE were rule-following others
then those rule-following others would be safe to disarm and process according to the law. BUT !

If they were rule-following, there'd be no point in arresting them.

It's a pooh-pooh hurricane.

One way the local police could reign in ICE without risking a fire-fight would just be to arrest the one in charge of an ICE event, the next day, at his home.
Since ICE really is clearly violating the law and rights, I don't really see how the police have any choice?
They are not supposed to allow things like the murder or Renee Good or Alex Pretti.
And the feds do not have jurisdiction over murder charges.
I supposed a qualified immunity claim could come up, but that would still be up to local judicial jurisdiction to determine.

Indeed.
There's more than one possible explanation.

Among them, employment in such roles as law enforcement attract bullies.
And generally bullies are cowards.

Lawsuit filed to stop Trump’s blue repainting of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool​

A nonprofit dedicated to “promoting informed stewardship” of historic landscapes asked a federal judge on Monday to halt the Trump administration’s painting of the Lincoln Memorial’s Reflecting Pool, which has long featured a gray basin, blue.

The lawsuit filed in federal court in Washington, DC, by The Cultural Landscape Foundation argues the project violates federal laws requiring the Interior Department to complete a consultation process that includes notifying the public of the plans and getting input from other federal agencies before beginning the work.
The group also says the project runs afoul of a federal law requiring the department to issue an assessment of how the paint job would impact the environment.

The lawsuit is the latest challenge to Trump’s effort to remake a slew of cultural and historic institutions and sites in the nation’s capital. Other groups have asked federal courts to stop the president from moving ahead with work on a massive new ballroom at the White House, construction of an arch similar to Paris’ Arc de Triomphe and the painting of a federal office building adjacent to the White House.

“Defendants’ failure to follow the law before inserting a permanent blemish on the National Mall is causing serious and irreparable harm to the Plaintiffs and the public generally,” lawyers for the Cultural Landscape Foundation wrote in court papers. “Without immediate judicial intervention, defendants will deface an iconic American landmark, in open violation of Congressionally mandated procedures.”

Fine.
Have they forgotten Trump demolished the East wing of the white house?
How does this demolition integrate with “promoting informed stewardship” of historic landscapes ?
