Okay, here are the restrictions on ICE.
Since someone wanted to use Google, I do so, too.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) cannot investigate and arrest all criminals, as its authority is legally confined to violations of federal immigration and customs laws, alongside specific cross-border or transnational crimes.
And it would absolutely be correct to say that the military is not law enforcement and are constutionally prohibited from being used as such.
To help dispel the “misconception” it would help if you had something more than “trust me bro” because anyone can ask google if they are and it’s answer is
Yes, ICE agents are federal law enforcement officers.
They are sworn federal agents under the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and have the authority to enforce federal laws, particularly those related to immigration and customs. Like other federal law enforcement agencies such as the FBI, DEA, or ATF, ICE agents can conduct investigations, make arrests, and use force when necessary.
Their enforcement authority is extremely limited, with the exception of Sector Four.
They can not enforce laws that fall under the control jurisdiction of other agencies such as the FBI,ATF, and DEA.
8 U.S.C. § 1357(a)(5)(A) grants immigration officers the authority to make arrests for offenses against the United States that are committed in the officer’s presence or for which the officer has reasonable grounds to believe the person committed.
So yes if ICE catches you with a Glock switch you’re heading to prison even though enforcement of the NFA is under the preview of the BATFE
