DHS and ICE officers don’t do shit about it but the DHS and ICE office-workers work compiling lists of people and that work would need to continue even if the rest of the organization were shut down.
AFAIK that task is not done by any other department, currently.
We do need to also do something to shut down the Trump admin and Republican push to force Police Departments to provide a database of people who don’t have identification to the DHS, though. The reason being that this would interfere with criminal investigation and court proceedings.
