Indeed, Customs and Border Patrol are the ones on the border. ICE are the folks that find and deport people already inside the US.

Under the last administration ICE was only targeting folks who had committed serious crimes, but now they're targeting all undocumented folk. A lot of our economy actually depends on these people, as they tend to be the ones picking vegetables and working in factory farms, preparing livestock for sale - nasty jobs most people don't want. Trump's golf courses and hotels have also knowingly employed undocumented folk, but they don't do much to the people employing undocumented folks (which is actually illegal - being undocumented is not).

Oh, and we're a country of immigrants. (Except the native folk.)
