I don’t recall. I would have corrected you at the time if so.Their powers are limited, yes. We have had this conversation.
They are not mutually exclusive. If you want to discuss her 4th Amendment rights, go ahead. I'm not interested.Why do you think this is about freedom of speech and not seizure / arrest?

You have now.I’ve not heard anyone suggest she was protected by her 1st amendment rights.

ICE are federal law enforcement officers, their powers are not limited with regard to their role. It’s true that they do not enforce as many laws as local law enforcement, because these are not federal laws. They have all necessary powers.Corrected what?
ICE officers do not have the same power as state or local police. While they are federal law enforcement officers, their authority is specialized and subject to different legal constraints.waffle

Anyone with lnowlYou have now.
There you go.ICE officers do not have the same power as state or local police. While they are federal law enforcement officers, their authority is specialized and subject to different legal constraints.
Key Differences in Authority (as of 2026)
- Subject Matter Jurisdiction: ICE agents enforce federal immigration and customs laws. Unlike local police, they do not have the authority to enforce state or local laws, such as traffic violations (e.g., speeding or DUIs) or common state crimes like residential burglary.
- Authority Over Citizens: ICE has very limited authority over U.S. citizens. They may only detain a citizen in rare cases, such as if the individual is assaulting an officer or interfering with a lawful arrest.
again.There you go.
But she was not stopping them going about their jobs. The road was not blocked. The officers were free to go about their business but strangely decided to persecute a woman in a car."interfering" definitely covers protesting, road-blocking and generally getting in the way.
