IANAA: what legal powers does the city/state have to expel ICE agents? Especially as they are operating in, at best, increasingly shady legality.

I always understood that the USA is built on a delicate balance of power between the federal and state governments. But here the federal government is sending thugs who, masked or unmasked, are brazenly killing people in bizzare circumstances. And the best the state can do is PTFO?

Legal eagle has more in-depth analysis of this. But in summary, there's basically no recourse.

They have the same recourse the colonists had to eject King George's men. And the same duty.

As much as I agree with this sentiment and think it's poignant, civil conflict in the modern era would be unthinkably terrifying, so I wouldn't take this position lightly. Or at the very least I wouldn't compare a modern conflict as being functionally similar to the Revolutionary War.
