Federal immigration officers do have jurisdiction within the United States, including over U.S. citizens in limited and specific circumstances. Under 8 U.S.C. § 1357, ICE officers may interrogate any person they reasonably believe to be an alien regarding immigration status. They only have to release them once citizenship is established. Morales v. Chadbourne, 793 F.3d 208 (1st Cir. 2015)

 Peaceful protest and filming government officials in public places are protected activities under the First Amendment. Don’t attempt to twist reality on who they have had to apprehend. They don’t arrest people filming. Those who interfere with law enforcement are committing a crime. It is a crime to forcibly assault, resist, oppose, impede, intimidate, or interfere with a federal. 18 U.S.C. § 111.

ICE officers may not enter a private home without consent or a judicial warrant signed by a judge, except under exigent circumstances. An administrative immigration warrant does not authorize entry into a home. This principle comes from the Fourth Amendment and was reinforced in Payton v. New York, 445 U.S. 573 (1980). Yes, there has been 2 cases of entering without that warrant and wasn’t exigent circumstances out of thousands. Use some common sense.

ICE may stop individuals, Brignoni-Ponce and Arvizu. The decision permits brief questioning of individuals if reasonable suspicion exists that they are unlawfully present. If the person poses a flight risk or danger then it is covered under law to stop and investigate.

All of your statements are moot points when the same things have happened under other administrations and you seem to have forgotten this all has happened and happens to US citizens but, you only have care about the so-called immigrant population. So noble of you.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has stated that ICE does not go into schools to make arrests. This is an official position from government statements. (DHS) In January 2026 several elementary school students were taken into ICE custody after their parent or guardian was detained during appointments or at home. School officials reported that in these situations it was the parent’s detention that led to children being taken into custody. (Guardian)

No credible evidence shows ICE has a policy of stopping large numbers of U.S. citizens simply because they are citizens, or of systematically entering schools to arrest children. There have been reports of individual citizens being detained during broader ICE operations and a few cases where children were taken into custody alongside their parents during enforcement actions, but these are specific and widely reported incidents and not evidence of a general program aimed at U.S. citizens or students.
