Most of the responses BTL are saying so, you want to create a British-style ICE.

Well, if the media gets its wet dream of a Reform government with Grifter Nigel in charge, I suspect a British ICE will be high on their agenda.

Anyway, don't we have something similar already?

National Crime Agency is supposed to be something similar. You can always make it bigger, move other bodies into it. The Serious Fraud Office isn't yet part of it, I presume it will be. The NCA and predecessors have never got close to the status of the FBI with the public, nor (I suspect) among serious criminals. There's something to be said for having something that does have more of that status.
