In a statement by the Republic of Ecuador:

"This morning, the Consul of Ecuador in Minneapolis reported that at approximately 11:00 a.m., an agent from the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Service (ICE) attempted to enter the Consulate’s facilities.

Immediately, Consulate officials prevented the ICE officer from entering the consular premises, thereby ensuring the protection of the Ecuadorians who were present at the consulate at that time and activating the emergency protocols issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Human Mobility.

As a result, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic immediately submitted a formal note of protest to the Embassy of the United States in Ecuador, requesting that acts of this nature not be repeated at any of Ecuador’s consular offices in the United States."

Diplomatic Immunity
Embassies enjoy complete diplomatic immunity per the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, extending to diplomats and their families. Consular officers do not have full diplomatic immunity but still operate within the framework of diplomatic norms.

While embassies and consulates provide significant support, their ability to intervene is subject to the laws of the host country. They cannot interfere with local legal processes or get a citizen out of jail. Consular officers are unable to provide legal advice, act as a lawyer, or pay legal fees or fines on behalf of a citizen. Their role is to ensure fair treatment and access to legal representation, not to circumvent the host nation’s justice system.

It's complicated and I don't know all of the laws surrounding this, but Consulates and Embassies cannot be searched. They also can't provide the services and protections that people often assume they can, such as harboring fugitives/illegals.

Not sure who's in the right here.
