That is a broad cut if you just don't agree with ICE. There are tons of federal LEOs that do the jobs states and local governments can't.
The US Marshall Service - Witness protection and relocation to other states. Rounding up fugitives from the federal judicial system.
US Secret Service - which state should protect the US currency and our elected officials?
BLM / National Ranger Service - who protects and enforces laws on lands specifically owned by the federal government?
State Department, Diplomatic Security Service - what about visiting foreign dignitaries?
United States Capitol Police - DC is a sovereign district. Should it be policed by a neighboring state?
USPS Postal Police - investigates crimes committed using the mail service, which often crosses state borders.
DoE/NRE Protective Units - Who should have ultimate control over nuclear warheads in transit? Texas? California?
