OP
"Chinga" (or chingar, the infinitive form) means fuck (to fuck). "La Migra" is Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

It's an idiom and not a direct translation so it is a bit confusing if one doesn't know Spanish idiomatic phrases.

FUCK ICE
I too am trying to learn Spanish
AI provides details:
"Chinga la migra" is a Spanish phrase that translates to "F*** the migra." "Migra" is a slang term in Spanish for immigration enforcement agencies like ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) and Border Patrol. The phrase is often used as a protest or expression of anger and frustration towards immigration policies and their enforcement. It is considered vulgar and offensive by many.

"La Migra" is an informal Spanish term for US immigration authorities - ICE and its predecessors.
