Law enforcement can arrest people or detain people.

You're subbing in "abduct" for one of those words.

If you don't have probable cause and you don't have a warrant, it's not an arrest and you aren't law enforcement. You're subbing in some words yourself.

Law enforcement arrests people every day. It's their primary job.

You're not confused about the term. We all know the difference.

In most cases police or ICE does not take away people by force, but by the threat of legal authority.

OK, I am not certain about police and "most", but rather certain about ICE and "most".
