"Legitimate law enforcement operations", and I'm putting extra emphasis on the word legitimate, have a specific target with a warrant for their arrest by a judge or district attorney in the jurisdiction of the operation. They follow the laws themselves and give proper rights to the apprehended individual such as contact with their lawyer, habeas corpus, holding time limitations, etc.

That's not what ICE does. ICE are a bunch of criminal thugs going after anyone and everyone. Some of them can barely read or write, and they're going out shooting people to death in the streets.
