ICE under scrutiny
The shooting comes after months of mounting criticism of the agency.
In January, federal immigration agents shot dead two US citizens in Minneapolis: Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year-old mother of three, killed by an ICE agent on January 7, and Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old intensive care nurse, shot by a US border agent.
After Good’s killing, Trump officials labelled her a “domestic terrorist” even as video of the shooting cast doubt on claims she had tried to run over an agent.
The federal government removed local authorities from the investigation, rejected calls for a civil rights probe, and sent hundreds more agents to Minnesota, bringing the total to 3,000, as protests spread to hundreds of US cities.
Trump blamed the shift in American opinion about the immigration agency on unfair media coverage, urging DHS and ICE to publicise the “violent criminals” they arrest.
ICE has been tasked with a target of one million deportations a year.
