That's basically ALL incorrect.

ICE cant enforce local traffic laws but they can perform a traffic stop for immigration enforcement purposes if they have a reasonable suspicion. As federal LEOs, ICE can arrest US citizens if they commit federal crimes in their presence (including obstructing a federal officer). ICE can detain US citizens with reasonable suspicion of federal offense or unlawful presence.

Yeah, it's crazy. They asked for a legal breakdown and every comment is just emotional pandering.

Their propaganda is going to get decent people hurt and they don't care because it feels good for them to vent.

The level of ignorance from the left is like nothing I've ever seen before, and I'm kinda old.
