ICE isn't sacrosanct by any stretch of the imagination. The agency is only 16 years old, created in the aftermath of 9/11 when Americans were willing to turn over their civil liberties wholesale.

From there own page:
"Congress granted ICE a unique combination of civil and criminal authorities to better protect national security and public safety in answer to the tragic events on 9/11. Leveraging those authorities, ICE's primary mission is to promote homeland security and public safety through the criminal and civil enforcement of federal laws governing border control, customs, trade and immigration."
Catching migrants who cross the border looking for work is hardly answering the events of 9/11. I'm not saying we shouldn't have immigration enforcement. It's just that ICE has always been an awkward agency for doing it.
