27. that is what it should mean

But facts are that even in sanctuary areas police often find ways to help feds rather than uphold the law of their locality.

And at least as yet they do precious little to stand up for the citizens they are supposed to serve and protect.

Also, just to be real, law enforcement isn't sworn to uphold the law only if/when they outnumber lawbreakers.

Id also argue that if the police were to stand with the citizens, the citizens would stand with the police. And together they outnumber ice by a large margin.
