    So, where does this all fit: Congress didnt really make a law doing that. Executive branch policy changed ICE’s protocols until that’s what we have.

      ICE was established by an act of congress (Homeland Security Act of 2002). If the law which created it is interpreted to be broad enough to allow the dismantling of free assembly, then the law is definitionally unconstitutional. Good luck getting fuck all done about it, though!
