Ahh -- that's not correct. Congress has granted exclusive authority to the ICE to make determinations about immigration status.

That has nothing to do with individual states and communities being forced to pay for public education for individuals not here legally.

If a state is making a distinction of eligibility based on one's country of origin, that is prohibited under the constitution unless that state has been given such authority by congress. I have no idea what 'the ICE' is, but I'm quite confident that it has no such authority.
