WSJ review shows that ICE agents intentionally create situations that result in shooting of unarmed civilians in vehicles. They also violate rules of safe engagement taught to police officers.

The Journal identified 13 shootings involving ICE or CBP agents and civilian vehicles since July, using court records, news reports and gun-violence databases.

Footage verified by the Journal and a video shared on Friday by DHS show Ross moving in front of the vehicle while its engine was running, which former and current DHS agents say they are trained not to do.

The Minneapolis shooting shares characteristics with others the Journal reviewed: Agents box in a vehicle, try to remove an individual, block attempts to flee, then fire.

Footage from the shootings also shows officers approaching civilian vehicles with their engines still running—a situation police are trained to avoid. According to Kerlikowske, such training is designed to keep officers out of harm’s way.

Videos reviewed by the Journal show officers trying to open vehicle doors, reaching into vehicles and smashing windows, followed by drivers fleeing.

Police are trained to break a window only in specific circumstances, such as if the driver is armed or there is a medical emergency, said Alpert. In footage from the four cases closely reviewed by the Journal, none of the drivers had firearms, but DHS insists they were still dangerous.

Obstructing a moving vehicle
In at least three of the shootings, officers pursued a vehicle on foot. Footage also shows officers moving into the potential path of the vehicle or clinging on to it while it moved.

“It’s like policing 101. Don’t get in front of a car or in their potential pathway, especially if the engine is running,” said Jon Blum, a former North Carolina officer who now develops police training curricula.

Firing into a moving vehicle also creates its own danger, according to Alpert.

“If I shoot you, and I’m successful, now we’ve got an unguided missile,” said Alpert. “What if there are kids playing in the street?”

Я думаю, что на ICE оказывается давление из Белого Дома выполнить нереально большой объём задержания нелегалов, поэтому они и рискуют своими и чужими жизнями, плюют на законы и инструкции. ICE принял на службу в этом году очень много новых людей и вряд ли их было возможно хорошо научить, когда надо было повышенный план выполнять. Ну, и чуство безнаказанности тоже... Зарплата в ICE, наверное, неплохая, а с рабочими местами в стране неважно, безработица медленно, но уверено растёт.

Да, Трамп где-то говорил, что самые опасные враги - внутренние. И в условиях беззаконности и произвола с этими врагами легче всего разбираться, потому что если убит - значит враг.

В 1937 году мой дедушка при аресте сбежал, но экаведисты пристрелили какого-то друго мужичка и выдали его за моего 47-летнего деда, убитого, якобы, при попытке к бегству. Где-то в 60-х годах прошлого века, когда моему деду было уже за 70, моей маме пришло письмо, что её отец был убит при попытке к бегству в 1937 и его посмертно реабилитировали. Трудно передать словами, какое впечатление это произвело на всю нашу семью и как ржал мой дед.
