against them as well as lethal force. We have no idea what the rules/guidelines are during these operations. As an example if they conduct a raid on an employer and someone takes off running are they allowed to shoot them? Are they allowed to do a high speed chase through the streets if the person is escaping in a vehicle? How long might it be before an ICE agent kills somebody and then uses the infamous claims like "I thought I saw a gun", "I saw him reach for his waist", "I was in fear for my life" etc.?

Also how long will it be before they end up raiding the wrong house and killing someone or maiming them? How long before a rush to deport someone has them deporting the wrong person? We already have plenty of stories and videos about cops making these exact mistakes over and over again and arresting and holding the wrong people. Throw in the racial component and the danger level increases dramatically.
