We don't know that.
That's a big question.
And I think as long as the ICE agents and Border Patrol agents are told that they have unlimited immunity, there really is no reason to expect that the rules governing use of force are going to change.
Maybe.
I mean, that would depend on if the administration feels it's in their political interest to change them and to change the whole optics around ICE's presence in these cities.

Now, majorities of people think ICE has gone too far.
They don't like the way this is being carried out.
They like the border being secure.
and undocumented immigrants with criminal records being deported, but they don't like all the chaos.
And chaos is the enemy of the party in power in a midterm election.
