As I noted, ICE is not primarily enforcing immigration laws. They are violating far more laws than they are enforcing.
That's not really something that lends itself to ready measurement...but as I noted above, ICE is detaining literally hundreds of thousands of people annually. So it's almost certainly the case that they are apprehending more people lawfully than they are apprehending more people unlawfully. Whether that means they're violation more laws than they're enforcing is a really unusual questions, but certainly the overwhelming majority of their actual detentions are of people they are lawfully empowered to detain.
