"Remember the Gulag" doesn't work, I've tried. No luck with "Funny, nazi Germany had that exact same policy" either. I might try "That didn't work for Mao either" next.

@freepatriot no mention of whether local police will enforce this against members of ICE.
Sadly, I have a suspicion that the answer is, no.
