FBI != ICE. It was ICE that showed up to the courtroom. The FBI was only involved in the arrest after ICE was butt hurt and complained to daddy about the situation. ICE does not have authority to arrest citizens. That is why the FBI was involved to be able to make the arrest of a citizen

Ah, sorry, missed that detail. I should've said "why wouldn't the ICE agents likewise be arrested"

> ICE does not have authority to arrest citizens

ICE has the authority to arrest and deport illegal immigrants, does it not? That's why they were at the courtroom in the first place. If said citizen has zero interest in disproving ICE's belief that they aren't an illegal immigrant, who's going to stop ICE from arresting them?

If you're a citizen and get rounded up by ICE, you'd be a complete moron to not be protesting your citizenship and offering up proof of it. Whether they believe you or not is up to them, but I've never heard of a citizen that just went along with the deportation and never objecting about being a citizen. Where do you even come up with this idea on zero interest in disproving ICE?

Hell even Cheech & Chong have a bit/song about this "I was born in East LA".
