While it may be within the law, I don't think (morally) it should be.
My friend was pulled over for a "traffic check". No ticket/citation was issued, but he was on the interstate on his way back from a car auction with around 2k, which was seized.

It's clear that laws aren't being applied WRT ICE

It may be shocking to know that this "civil forfeiture" has been common practice in the US for a while.

It happened to someone I know and he never got the cash back. Here's an example of some other folks affected:

Old legal quirk lets police take your money with little reason, critics say
Civil forfeiture enables police to seize cash, cars, homes and other belongings they think were involved in a crime, even if charges are never filed.

The Chamber of Commerce is not a govt group or agency (this used to be more of a difference...). It deliberately chose a moniker so it would sound like the US Dept of Commerce.

It's a conservative lobbyist group. So, yeah, it's alignment has always been self-enrichment & capitalism at any cost.
