It's surely reasonable to assume they meant something that is factually accurate. Using "the police" to refer to law enforcement in general is common; additionally, the alleged crimes are in the purview of the FBI. There is ample context to interpret their words more strongly.

Okay, but saying that the FBI supports ICE is not remarkable. The point of the comment is to make the case that something extraordinary is going on. It is not unreasonable for federal agencies to support each other.
