Read a different article that said the local AMC called the MPAA. The MPAA called ICE. They were apparently ICE agents that responded.
What does Immigration & Customs Enforcement have to do with recording movies?
I would consider this disturbing "jurisdiction creep".

Small-scale, low-resolution movie piracy is not important enough to warrant investigation by any Federal agency IMHO.

I would also be suspicious of someone in the theater with a video recording device and have them removed if I were the management. I think they went way overboard calling the Feds, and the Feds went way overboard on their Gestapo interrogation methods, but video piracy is a big problem these days.
The movie industry bribed (I meant lobbied) the right people in the federal government to make recording movies a federal crime.
