‘Official verified’ isn’t a thing on bluesky. It’s self-verification, just means you own the domain.
Most western governments are terrorist. Can you name an administration that isn’t guilty of war crimes? Should they all be automatically blocked from socials?
True they have been guilty for a while, but they didn’t always post like they have been now, as a part of DHS who posts nothing but fascist propaganda on other social media these days I doubt their posts would be different. ICE is actively recruiting so just having the account is an ad for joining, not that different than a corporate business social media. I agree with the idea that a communication platform should be neutral politically, in general, but it is a special situation when an agency is currently waging a violent campaign and uses social media to further their agenda and blurring of the truth. They are a government agency but not a necessary one and it’s not essential they are allowed on a third-party social media platform, it could be argued their conduct and behavior as a group is already against the policies of Bluesky like condoning violence.
But anyway I agree they shouldn’t necessarily be blocked preemptively, a rogue poster could use the account to say “ICE are terrorist thugs” or something.
They haven’t posted anything yet.

They have already posted a job ad to join a violent fascist paramilitary in their profile.
For companies that have morals or a backbone, abso fucking lutely
