"surrender" to what?

As I understood it:

State and local police cannot be given direct orders from federal authorities.

Federal authorities handle federal crimes. But state and local police enforce all laws.

ICE has very limited authority with respect to the criminal laws - largely pertaining to immigration, customs, terrorism and transnational crime.

State and local police can enforce laws that ICE breaks

So I don't get where Miller is coming from (can't stand the guy)
