ICE can't seem to stop shooting people.
There have been 14 shootings in which federal agents shot someone during an immigration enforcement action under Trump’s crackdown, according to The Trace.
But as Mother Jones' Noah Lanard wrote in October, there is little evidence that ICE agents face such severe and widespread danger compared with other law enforcement agencies.
ICE's own records show that none of their agents have ever been killed by an immigrant in the agency’s history. So, it seems ICE may pose a far greater danger to civilians than the other way around.
