I don't know what the penalty is for any police that break that law by informing ICE, but assuming it might be grounds for firing and criminal prosecution.

Sure the law could be changed to exempt people convicted of crimes, but it wasn't written that way when it was passed 10 years ago and hasn't been changed.
