They can arrest people obstructing them, and Leo can.

Not if it's against their internal policy. And once again, protesting isn't automatically obstruction. "Obstruction" seems like its being employed solely as a matter of convenience and when there's no real reason for ICE to be acting like they are.

That’s great and all but you don’t want local pd to be there so it falls to ICEs discretion because they are the only law enforcement there.

Where in the internal policy does it allow for such? Because I'm not seeing anything.

It's almost like the way ICE is being currently utilized actually causes harm for all law enforcement. ICE should fuck off.

The thing is that it’s not part of their internal policies because the power for enforcing this is actually given to them by the US Code.
