4. That's not enough

Under the Constitution any such arrest activity must be under a court-issued warrant.

And under Illinois law 720 ILCS 5/12-1, assault is defined as "when, without lawful authority, he or she knowingly engages in conduct which places another in reasonable apprehension of receiving a battery" In other words, if dressed in a threatening way and acting in a threatening way as part of an organization that has a pattern of battery, each of these ICE officers can be guilty of assault just by their very presence.

The city or state police should follow them, detain them and make sure they have specific court-ordered warrants, and are proceeding DIRECTLY to enforce those exact warrants and nothing else. If they are not reasonably in the act of enforcing a specific warrant and are acting in any way menacing, then arrest their asses for assault.
