Customary for ICE to come to aircraft door to review documents and separate citizens?

Has it come up before about ICE meeting airplanes at LAX (or any other airports) and separating US citizens and residents from non-citizens/residents? Announcement was made requiring all US citizens and residents to get off aircraft first to show passport and boarding pass at the door and have non-citizens remain on the plane (don't know what happened or what was said to non-citizens/residents since I already deplaned). Came in on 7-9-18 flight UA935 from LHR to LAX. Also, officers every 50 feet or so as we got off the aircraft and walked to immigration for regular screening. Was curious if this is now the policy when flying internationally since I had not seen this before on international flights to the US earlier in the year.
