Assuming you are asking in good faith, here is a good-faith answer: 1) because the FBI as an institution is not going to interfere with another LEO when it does something, and 2) the FBI is also partially corrupted by Trumpistas, just as is Treasury, the Marshal's office, and AFT. ICE is not the only agency acting as Brownshirts, just the most active one (and the most corrupted).
