ICE was a new agency when obama took over lol. He tripled their budget. They're actively making it worse. Obama deported 3 million people, trump hasn't caught up yet.
And no, you don't have to arrest people in the country illegally. You give them an order to show up to their deportation hearing, and if they don't show up then you arrest them for contempt of court...with like...normal police officers enforcing normal criminal law. But what a shock, people tend to just show up because people will comply voluntarily when the alternative is arrest. That's how it always worked before ICE, and how it continued to work with ICE until Obama expanded them to the whole damn country (rather than the 14 counties they were in when Bush left)
