It's pretty much a given that any cop that arrests an ICE agent during the performance of his duty is going to be able to go home after his shift only to be arrested in front of his wife and kids and carted off to a federal jail of some sort.
Cops know this and if they can cloud a mirror with their nose they will refuse. I would. This is a no brainer.
So because the state/local police chief/commissioner/whatever threatens to fire the officer a working cop who will win the jackpot if he refuses and gets fired because he can sue the department and it will hold up. The state loses.
In fact the fired cop can sue the state in federal court which makes it easier yet to get a nice jackpot.
Typical CA mentality. Lose/lose.

I suppose every department has a sucker department kiss-ass that will do anything the chief wants. He'll be promised all sorts of legal aid and so on and so forth. Actually they will give him a SWAT team of attorneys but if it's a cut and dried case he's going to jail and there's nothing that can be done about it. He's just going to sit in the stir for a while stammering and stuttering "But...but the Chief told me...the Chief told me..."
