if you mean "ICE agents (as sworn federal agents) are not authorized by statue to arrest people for federal crimes, like entering the US illegally" you are simply wrong.

ICE agents, specifically those in Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) under U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), are federal law enforcement officers with statutory authority to arrest individuals for immigration violations, including criminal offenses such as illegal entry into the United States under 8 U.S.C. § 1325 and § 1327.

It is true that many immigration violations are administrative in nature but it doesn't follow that ICE are not police, nor are they not sworn to enforce all federal laws.

If I mean that ICE operates under Immigration courts which are not real/Article III courts and that these courts skirt Constitutional rights on the claim that they are civil, not criminal, than I am, in fact, 100% correct and that ICE are not acting as Police in their main, day to day, purpose for existing capacity.

Why are ICEs training programs so significantly shorter than other law enforcement? Especially if ICE's training covers immigration enforcement and Federal law enforcement training? Shouldn't that make it longer, not significantly shorter? Can an ICE agent transfer to another Federal position (say DC Police) without having a requirement that they take ACTUAL law enforcement training?

They are not the equivalent of Police.
