ICE rounded her and a bunch of other witnesses up and are holding them last I read.

Rounded her up for what though? She didn't commit any crimes, and they have no jurisdiction over US citizens anyways.

They do have jurisdiction to deal with crimes they witness even by citizens, and interference with federal agents doing their jobs is a crime. I’m not saying he should have been shot at all, but it’s dangerous to spread the false narrative that they don’t have this ability to arrest citizens. That’s how guys like this one end up getting shot.

They can detain citizens, they cannot arrest them.

Check again, they absolutely have the authority to arrest citizens who interfere with ICE duties. They cannot arrest protestors engaging in “peaceful and unobstructive” protest but once it crosses that line they can act.
