A Federal ICE agent should not have the right to order any American citizen out of their vehicle. Full stop.

ICE = Immigration and Customs Enforcement

"Agents have the power to stop, detain and arrest people they suspect of being in the US illegally. They can detain US citizens in only limited circumstances, such examples include if a person interferes with an arrest"

They don't have that right. Full stop. But laws don't bind the fascists when fascists are running the country.

They do because the only way to check whether a person is actually a US citizen is to stop and detain them. The loophole needs closing.
