Blue cities and states are reportedly debating new policies that would direct the police to detain any mask-wearing ICE agents, and, if they're undocumented as trained agents, they'll be arrested.

There is no credible evidence or verified reports that any blue (Democratic-leaning) cities or states are considering or debating policies that would instruct police to detain mask-wearing ICE agents or arrest them if they are undocumented as trained agents. Such a policy would be highly unusual and legally problematic, as ICE agents operate under federal authority, and local law enforcement typically does not have the jurisdiction or legal basis to detain federal agents based solely on mask-wearing or undocumented status claims. Additionally, mask-wearing is common and unrelated to immigration enforcement status. This claim appears to be a false or misleading rumor without factual support.
