It does not matter. ICE does not have any jurisdiction at all over US citizens who are not engaged in crossing international borders.
Let me say that again another way: ICE cannot simply do whatever it wants to whoever it wants.
This is akin to giving the Department of Education comprehensive arrest powers related to pickleball games anywhere in the country.
- HenryBemis 2y agoMaybe someone should pass a law that limits ICE's range to "not more than 5km/miles from the nearest external border". In which case they operate as border guard and not as "let's go downtown and get us some Pakis/Venezuelans/Italians/etc." (but who's gonna pass this law?)
- runako 2y agoYes, but also many of our major cities are 5km from an external border (coastal cities). ICE needs to be reined in, full stop.

- chias 2y agoYou'd probably also need to count international airports
- pizza 2y agoWorth saying that there is a similar law for CBP to be able to conduct warrantless searches anywhere within 100 miles of the border.
