Unfortunately, Democrats have done nothing to build any forces loyal to democracy. They supported racist and violent cops that are loyal to Republicans, and those cops almost certainly won't follow orders to arrest ICE agents. If anything they're just going to collaborate, like they already have despite it technically being illegal. National Guard might be better, maybe, but they're probably just going to help ICE suppress the protestors.
Who would he call upon to enforce the law?
The big myth that nobody analyzes nor tries to dispel in politics is that police (of any type) operate under democratic control.
They never have, and until qualified immunity is eliminated, they never will.
Elected officials (outside of the president...or hey, wait a second, couldn't Walz pardon himself for state crimes?!) do not have such an immunity. So, the "orders" that the elected officials give police are basically suggestions, and that is how they receive and follow (or don't follow) them.
Police in US is pretty much an organized crime group. If a politician threatens their status they all will simply go on strike. Reminds of when de Blasio supported protests against police killings and every cop turned his back on him during his speech.
If the police go on strike, our problems are solved. The police doing nothing is the best case scenario.
