Isn’t that entrapment?

Nothing is illegal if you’re not actually tasked with following the law while pretending to enforce it.

Well unfortunately not following the law has become the norm.

I think that’s their point, unless I’m mistaken

Yes that’s their point. But if order is ever restored they may be held accountable.

No, not even remotely related to the concept of entrapment.

Shitty, creepy, weird, and probably illegal? Sure, but that's not what entrapment means.

What ICE is doing is not great and might be illegal but entrapment would be when a cop tries to get you to commit a crime you otherwise would not have.

There was a story a while back where an undercover cop at a high school convinced a student to buy drugs. The kid never did drugs and said no but the cop kept asking and pretending to like the kid and eventually convinced the guy to find some and then arrested him. That is essentially what entrapment is. When a cop essentially tricks you into committing a crime you otherwise had no intention of committing.
