I think you are getting dragged into a bad and useless semantic debate.
Are you saying that my only mistake was saying Court of New York rather than New York Court of Appeal? Or is there any more fundamental problem to my earlier argument?
I’m not pretending to be a lawyer here. But the state level courts are independent of the federal courts. And Federal Agencies (like ICE) have been historically hampered due to 10th Amendment issues. ICE overwhelmingly relies upon local police to cooperate to get much done.
This might be a legal issue that will be battled over the next 4 years in the supreme court, but I’d expect that Blue State resistance of this manner is our next best battleground to choose. We’ve lost the Presidency and both houses of Congress and the Supreme Court. That leaves Blue State courts (whatever their name) as the next defensive bulwark.
