IRS or state tax collection agency levies for unpaid taxes

Yes, and a levy is an action specified by an execution:
(BOUVIER'S 1856)
LEVY, practice. A seizure (q. v.) the raising of the money for which an
execution has been issued.
EXECUTION, practice. The act of carrying into effect the
final judgment of a court, or other jurisdiction. The writ which authorizes the officer so to carry into effect such judgment is also called an execution.
And concerning the "other jurisdiction" mentioned above:
JURISDICTION, Practice. A power constitutionally conferred upon a judge or magistrate, to take cognizance of, and decide causes according to law, and to carry his sentence into execution. 6 Pet. 591; 9 John. 239. The tract of land or district within which a judge or magistrate has jurisdiction, is called his territory, and his power in relation to his territory is called his territorial jurisdiction.
So, a LEVY can be used to get a garnishment, but again, a LEVY is dependent upon an EXECUTION which comes from a court of final judgment.
Again, we see that it isn't lawful unless they have a court judgment, which is what ICE has been saying from the beginning. We must have wasted 6 pages of forum space to come to the same conclusion.
But it is there if anyone is facing this problem.
