ICE told to get the eff out

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.

I've just been getting up to speed on this. I was very surprised at how limited their powers are. What power did they actually have to try to detain Renee. On the face of it, none. I wonder whether more information will come out. This aspect isn't getting much of a mention in the media.

They didn't. That's why HWM is embarrassed and refuses to even acknowledge my question.

On the other hand, the murder victim had every right to steer her car away from a very menacing threat of several armed masked men, attempting to enter her vehicle.

It is a really important and interesting point. ICE have no power to arrest US citizens. But they can detain them temporarily if they are obstructing their work, such as blocking in an ICE vehicle or trying to physically prevent an arrest. First, they have to give orders for the obstruction to cease, and then if those orders are not followed they can temporarily detain a citizen. In Renee's case, it is not clear whether any sort of obstruction actually happened.

Think that is you don't you... I have yet again proved you should stick to oil filters as your knowledge stops with that. Next time you want to try to look like you know something, try actually knowing. Loser
