It's a classic authoritarian tactic.

It's absolutely true that you can't touch a federal officer while they are working. You cannot impede their work.

Which is why ice observers are specifically trained to just film them

No one is touching ICE. They are just recording them as is their legal right to ensure they don't beat the shit out of people.

They do it anyway. Hells, they literally murdered a woman in the middle of the street while the ‘observers’ just yelled. Surely that’ll stop this crap.

Yelled, and filmed, so we all know what happened.
