Do we call ICE the Gestapo now or is it too soon?

Now.

They are literally walking around on the street demanding papers, then arresting people even when they produce papers. And if you don't produce papers, you're disappeared. Just because they don't like how they look or their name. At this point, the only actual differences between ICE and the Gestapo is the country/language, uniform and the group they target.
