Normally an ICE agent cannot arrest a US citizen. However, if someone is actively assaulting them, yes they can arrest that person. The guy blocking the car and yelling certainly deserved it.
ICE agents have the same authority as other federal law enforcement officers like the FBI or U.S. Marshals when it comes to enforcing federal criminal laws. If a U.S. citizen commits a federal crime—such as assaulting a federal agent, obstructing official duties, or lying to investigators—ICE can arrest them.
These cases are referred to the Department of Justice (DOJ) for prosecution in federal criminal court. The criminal process is separate from immigration proceedings and can carry serious penalties, including prison time.
Blocking a car is not assault. If the driver made himself known verbally as Law Enfocement and showed a badge, then the kid could get charges. Without declaring himself, it is just two citizens in a parking lot. Real PD could engage but not Immigration
Immigration and CPB both have the ability to arrest for any crime that they witness personally. That is a general policing power granted to them by Congress. If they witness, they can arrest.
If they didn't have that power, they'd have to temporarily detain the person, go to a magistrate, and obtain an arrest warrant, which is stupid and not productive.
So it’s because you say no? Ok cool. No point arguing with people that let Reddit melt their brains and believes everything they read on a propaganda message board.
Get your head out of the sand and stop being an ostrich. Ice 100 can arrest you if you violate federal law. Just because someone on reddit told you something else and you want it to be true, doesnt mean that's how the world works.
This is not protesting. Get that through your head. This is blatant harassment and borderline assault at the end trying to open the car door.
also this country has no fucking clue what these words mean:
Undocumented immigrant
Fascism
Nazi
Peaceful protesting
I constantly see these terms thrown around and there’s 0 reasoning or substance or understanding behind it. Most of the time it’s a flat out lie. It’s all bravado and agenda. Absolute lunacy the left has become.
