That last part isn't true. Citizens who impede ICE officers in the performance of their duties can be arrested by ICE. That is specifically written into the law, and it's a statute that can be interpreted pretty broadly.

Why do you think that specific sub case that applies to all law enforcement folks, applies to my statement?

Because ICE is law enforcement? I'm not sure what your point is.

Did you know ICE can arrest you for harboring illegal aliens?

If highway patrol was spending their day harassing loiterers at the mall, everyone would be pissed.

Because 1) while they are legally allowed to do it, it isn’t their job, and 2) it is other people’s jobs.

Which is the point.
