Laws are threats made by the dominant socioeconomic ethnic power in a given nation, it's just a promise of violence enacted with the police acting as an occupying army.

And if the police don't enforce those threats, they have no meaning. The police are not enforcing the laws that ICE is breaking, and therefore what they're doing is effectively legal.
