Short answer: No — this graphic is ''not'' fully accurate.
It mixes some real legal principles with oversimplifications and outright errors that make it misleading.

Below is a point-by-point breakdown so you can see exactly what’s right, what’s wrong, and what’s missing.

==== 1. “ICE is NOT a police force” ====

⚠️ Misleading
* ICE is a federal law-enforcement agency under the Department of Homeland Security.
* ICE officers (HSI and ERO) are federal law-enforcement officers with arrest authority under 8 U.S.C. § 1357.
* They are not general patrol police, but they do have law-enforcement powers, including arrests, searches, and firearms use.

Verdict: ❌ Framed incorrectly

==== 2. “Stopping vehicles – no random stops” ====

⚠️ Partially true, but incomplete

ICE can stop vehicles when they have:
* Reasonable suspicion of an immigration violation, OR
* Probable cause of any federal crime, OR
* Authority under border enforcement powers (within ~100 miles of the border, airports, ports, etc.)

ICE agents do not need a warrant to stop a vehicle in all cases, especially:
* During joint operations
* At checkpoints
* During criminal investigations (drug, fraud, trafficking, etc.)

Verdict: ⚠️ Oversimplified

==== 3. “Detention rules – cannot detain U.S. citizens” ====

❌ Incorrect

ICE can temporarily detain U.S. citizens:
* To determine identity
* During lawful stops
* If citizenship is unclear at the time

They cannot hold a U.S. citizen for immigration violations, but temporary detention is absolutely lawful if reasonable suspicion exists.

Federal courts have upheld this repeatedly.

Verdict: ❌ False as written

==== 4. “Use of firearms – only immediate threat, no intimidation” ====

⚠️ Mostly true, but incomplete
* ICE use-of-force policy is similar to other federal agencies
* Drawing a firearm generally requires a perceived threat
* However, displaying a weapon during high-risk arrests or warrant service is allowed, even without shots fired

“NO GUNS TO INTIMIDATE” is not a legal standard — it’s a slogan.

Verdict: ⚠️ Simplified and misleading

==== 5. “ICE has no authority over bystanders” ====

❌ Incorrect

ICE can:
* Order bystanders to move for officer safety
* Detain someone interfering with enforcement
* Arrest people obstructing justice or assaulting officers
* Seize phones or footage with a warrant or exigent circumstances

Filming is generally protected, but not absolute.

Verdict: ❌ Incorrect

==== 6. Final claim: ====

: “ICE cannot stop, detain, or threaten U.S. citizens.”

❌ Flatly false

ICE can:
* Stop U.S. citizens during lawful operations
* Detain them briefly
* Arrest them for federal crimes
* Use force when legally justified

They simply cannot deport them.

Verdict: ❌ False

==== Bottom Line ====

This image is advocacy content, not a legal guide.

===== ✔️ What it gets right =====
* ICE is primarily an immigration agency
* Constitutional protections still apply
* Warrants and reasonable suspicion matter

===== ❌ What it gets wrong =====
* ICE’s law-enforcement authority
* Their power over U.S. citizens
* Vehicle stop rules
* Bystander authority
* Firearms policy

If you want, I can:
* Rewrite this graphic into a legally accurate version
* Cite statutes and court cases
* Break down Florida-specific ICE interactions
* Explain what actually happens during ICE encounters step-by-step

Just tell me how deep you want to go.
