Wouldn't ICE and Border Patrol be Authorized Firearms Officers?

They really shouldn't be. They could have a small force of AFOs for very special operations. But I would imagine that 99% of situations they deal with don't require guns.

So how would we get this policy change, if not by changing the underlying structure like OP suggests?
