Regardless of judicial rulings of any sort, who will enforce them? Seemingly all of the enforcement apparatus in the US has been co-opted.

The individual state governments aren't meaningfully resisting. Their law enforcement isn't arresting "federal agents" to put them through state legal system. These perps should be jailed and forced to appeal before a judge for a bail hearing, possibly held without bail as they are clearly threats, and then put on trial in a state court.

Without this, where is the enforcement?

The classic question: who watches the watchmen? Right now, no one.

Truth is, most cops wouldn't confront ICE even if explicitly ordered to do so. The majority of them are supporting all this.
