are they being deployed state after state or something ?
Only a handful of cities, but their funding is something like $60 billion dollars, the equivalent of two or three branches of our military combined. I don’t think ICE has the staff to go after whole states at this point, because there are many stories in the media that seem to indicate they are hiring every stupid motherfucker who puts in an application.
There are various means of resistance happening in local communities. Here in Kansas City, Missouri, for example, our city council just banned ICE from receiving an permits or zoning for mass detention facilities here in our city.

And that’s why Trump is pushing for civil unrest/war to use the insurrection act. He desperately needs the military. Not only is ICE not big enough, but it’s full of untrained cowards. As soon as the first bullet flies, some will fight, but the vast majority will either go flight or fawn. This existence is so stupid.
