when ICE has degraded into a largely lawless and authoritarian organization

I think you're mistaking actually enforcing the law as being "lawless and authoritarian".

Now, what I’m a bit confused about is why you are so up-in-arms about the existence of this law instead of the violation of this law.

I'm not so "up in arms" about anything, just questioning why the authorities are handicapped on what they can use one of their systems for. Sure, the violation of the law is bad - but the law itself seems ridiculous. The only people it benefits are literally criminals.
