Not at that speed. Hypersonic.

The re-entry had been hypersonic. Hence mutually assured destruction off of former ICBMs. Where after leaving orbit an aligning out of orbit, gravity picks up increasing speed. But if detected by radar and satellite there are better defenses to stopping them which often previously meant patriot missiles. I wouldn't bet on them, nuke 0, or perhaps they might stop, but they're better than nothing and have run tests against incoming. Also newer ICBMs like the latest minuteman split into multiple warheads like the Russian and Chinese counterparts. Russia has an ICBM that has over 20 warheads.

However hypersonics can be fitted on virtually undetectable smart and stealth cruise missiles, which aren't as easily tracked, and can avoid most standard defenses. There are advancing defenses like lasers, or etc, and a few proposals to stopping them, but lasers are advancing quicker into defense. Apart from other countermeasures with plasma.
