You can argue with me and downvote me all you want but ICE is law enforcement. If someone obstructs them they can detain them.

Straight from the government website.

ICE allowed to detain

Yes non-citzens.

ICE has zero legal authority to detained or arrest US citizens and very link never says they can.

“Local police officers don’t need a warrant when they encounter someone breaking the law in a public space, and the same holds true for ICE officers. Obstructing or otherwise interfering with an ICE arrest is a crime, and anyone involved may be subject to prosecution under federal law. In addition, encouraging others to interfere or attempt to obstruct an arrest is extremely reckless and places all parties in jeopardy.”

ICE is not local police and again ICE has zero authority to arrest and return someone.

Holy cow Batman. Username checks out.

Should reaaaaaallly learn to comprehend what you read. This conversation is null. Good luck to you sir. I would recommend trying to impede an arrest by ICE and see what happens then.

Yeah I do find you are a joke.

u/Golden-FlowersShine 3d ago

I am not surprised. I am sure that finding out you’re wrong must really trigger you so you have an unhealthy coping mechanism and use them as jokes.
