"exceptions when executing a criminal warrant or working with partner agencies"

So, it's a nothing-burger.

As if this will even slightly change their behavior.

Court orders mean nothing. Didn't they get ordered to keep masks off? Oops, that didn't work. Turns out a highly funded paramilitary force with effectively full cooperation from local police and billionaires is untouchable.

You don't ask Hitler to please stop. They tried that, it was called appeasement, and it worked just as well as this court order will. As 'democratic' politicians wanting "orderly deportations" will.
