the ICE agent is a Federal agent and that means it is up to the DOJ if charges are prosecuted. The Trump administration DOJ is basically just a arm of the POTUS. They have purged most of the prosecutors that base their decisions on law/order and have replaced them with loyalists. Even if they can find one the courts are likewise mostly loyalists even all the way to SCOTUS.

America is back to its origin - white supremacy.
