Federal immigration officers have shot 11 people since September as the Department of Homeland Security has ramped up deportation operations around the country. In the majority of the shootings, officers have fired into cars — a tactic that law enforcement authorities and policing experts have been trying for decades to curtail.
The vehicle shootings raise serious concerns among policing experts about the rapidly expanding deployment of DHS personnel into American communities, where officers are regularly captured on video clashing with immigrants who are in the country illegally as well as citizens who protest the arrests.
The shootings “are not one-offs,” said Jim Bueermann, the former police chief in Redlands, California, who now runs the Future Policing Institute, a research group. “This is clearly developing into a pattern and practice of how they deal with people in the enforcement of immigration laws, and to me that’s the most alarming thing we’re seeing.”
DHS says that in each case, the officers with Immigration and Customs Enforcement or Customs and Border Protection believed their lives were in danger and that in several of the incidents, officers were injured.
“The pattern is NOT of law enforcement using deadly force. It’s a pattern of vehicles being used as weapons by violent agitators to attack our law enforcement,” DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement. “Dangerous criminals — whether they be illegal aliens or U.S. citizens — are assaulting law enforcement and turning their vehicles into weapons to attack law enforcement.”
~Snip~
Homeland Security officials have forcefully defended their officers, saying they are increasingly in danger, facing a steep uptick in attacks and violent protesters. “Officers are highly trained in de-escalation tactics and regularly receive ongoing use of force training,” McLaughlin said. She said officers are also trained to use “the minimum amount of force necessary to resolve dangerous situations and to prioritize the safety of the public and our officers.”
DHS requires every use of force incident and any discharge of an ICE firearm to be reported and reviewed, and all shootings are examined by “an appropriate law enforcement agency,” McLaughlin said. Those investigations are then followed by an internal ICE review.


Commentary:
How is an Ice or Border Patrol Agent supposed to react when they or their fellow agents are struck or dragged down the street vehicles by illegals or protesters that prefer using violence rather than peacefully protesting?
Actually, eleven shootings in five months sounds astronomically low considering the raw number of ICE agent ‘contacts’ going on.
Meanwhile, How many people, especially women and young children have illegal immigrants killed during the last five years.

How many interactions with violent people? So 11 shootings seem quite low.

 

[Anathema]

That sound like about 1/10,000th of the number ther should have been

I would say defending themselves is a good start. When they enforce our laws, they are defending all US citizens. Therefore, when they defend themselves, they defend all of us.

Protesters should begin using self-defense against ICE until ICE and its legions of boot licking supporters stop condoning murder and assault against protesters by ICE

 

[Blaster]

Protesters should begin using self-defense against ICE

They wouldn't need to if they would stop interfering with ICE apprehensions.

 

[Augustine_]

They wouldn't need to if they would stop interfering with ICE apprehensions.

The people being apprehended need to start using self defense as well

 

[Blaster]

The people being apprehended need to start using self defense as well

You want felons to fight law enforcement?

You want felons to fight law enforcement?

The people being randomly detained have the right to fight back instead being taken or murdered by unidentified, masked gunmen

You are retarded.

I would say defending themselves is a good start. When they enforce our laws, they are defending all US citizens. Therefore, when they defend themselves, they defend all of us.

You state valid points, however, I see this as a gross failure of our congress. THEY are tasked with making sure this garbage does not happen. Protests shouldn't be necessary and if THEY had done their jobs and secured our borders against foreign invaders, we wouldn't be having these conversations. Because of THEIR lack of actions, we have traitors like Walz who are virtually giving aid and comfort to the enemies of the country and inciting insurrection by the citizenry.

 

[Doc7505]

Another question: Does the Earl Warren inspired Qualified Immunity standard mean that LEO are above the law?

<~~~~~~~~~~>​

• The Legal Standard: Established in the 1967 case Pierson v. Ray, the Warren Court ruled that officers are immune from civil liability if they act in "good faith" and with "probable cause," even if they are enforcing a law later found unconstitutional. The modern standard (refined in 1982) shields officers from civil damages unless their conduct violates "clearly established" statutory or constitutional rights.
• Accountability Limits: Qualified immunity only applies to civil lawsuits for monetary damages. It does not protect officers from criminal prosecution or from internal disciplinary actions.

Yes, LEO are indeed held above the law, due only to the actions of SCOTUS.

Clearly the court is not interested in justice or the rule of law. Its main purpose is to maintain the status quo. Hence the Warren Commission....

Democrats in Congress and the former Biden administration are completely responsible for what is taking place today in America.
Had Biden and Mayorkas kept the border closed and refused entry of 12 million illegal aliens and nearly 5 million "GOTAWAYS" this would not be occurring.
The unconstitutional and criminal flood of Illegals is all about the census and Democrat control of Congress.
Trump is correct to call for a new census omitting illegal aliens in the census that would destroy the Democrats power in Congress.

 

[LibertyWeeps]

When these kinds of posts are made, I would also like to see the statistics and numbers under Obozos circus and Bidens circus administrations.

The term astronomically low is a contradiction in terms. Microscopically low would be a better term. Astronomically refers to very large numbers, not small numbers.
