ICE pretty much has all the employees it ever will. Even with the inflated budget they're having trouble recruiting gestapo. They're concentrating their efforts in Minneapolis because they don't have the resources to do it anywhere bigger, much less everywhere at once.
So they're all-in trying to get violent kickback so they can justify the Insurrection Act, because that will allow them to deploy troops, which the courts keep blocking.
