That seems to be an easy one to bypass: Exit the USA by driving (or walking I suppose through a border checkpoint) over the border to Canada or Mexico. There’s no ICE check on roads leaving the USA. There will be border agents from the other country you’re entering you will interact with on the other side, but those aren’t USA Border agents.
