As Brian Bennett noted over ten years ago, a report by law enforcement experts found that "Border Patrol agents have deliberately stepped in the path of cars apparently to justify shooting at the drivers and have fired in frustration at people throwing rocks from the Mexican side of the border, according to an independent review of 67 cases that resulted in 19 deaths."

ICE, and the use of the National Guard to protect ICE, has been covered as immigration story, but America’s immigration and customs agents aren’t only being used for that purpose.
The Trump administration is also using ICE and the National Guard to project power, to demonstrate that it can operate without restraint, and in defiance of the law.

"This [ICE assault on Americans] is all under the umbrella of white male supremacy — those talking points have been pre-written for years."

"What's happening is that Customs and Border Patrol are operating far from the border…. They're pretending that they can act as law enforcement, which they're not law enforcement. Not law enforcement. And they are going up to anyone they think has an accent that doesn't sound like an American accent."
(I've edited the video dialogue lightly to remove distracting filler words.)

"All of the people who've been killed by ICE, I have a whole long list of them, 37 people just in 2025. These are all horrific cases. Most of them are either Black, Brown, or Asian. But in this case, there's something about the fact that the right has built a narrative around white women being the ones being protected, that mass deportation is designed to protect white women."
"And then this police officer in a white suburb of a nice neighborhood, not on some mean street, not in some dangerous, in a suburb. shooting this woman in the face while her neighbors are watching and while he and other officers are filming it on their cameras, not even body cam, and essentially saying this white woman is a quote unquote dumb bitch and I can kill her at will. Something about that to me is just different."

"These are police state tactics. What makes a police state? It's basically the excessive use and the excessive threatening of violence. In our society, people are allowed to use violence. The state is allowed to use violence under certain circumstances. And we have set up rules and laws and norms for the employment of violence, right? That cops and military people and others can use."
~ David Corn
"But what we've done now with this creation of ICE is create an authority that doesn't seem to abide by rules. It doesn't seem to have good training. Even its mission is unclear. We're told originally, and that's why people voted for Trump, those who did, that it would target criminals and get them out of the country. Well, it's not doing that."
"The Department of Homeland Security is seeking to hire 10,000 new ICE agents and 3,000 new Border Patrol agents. Their training and salaries and benefits, such as fully-paid health care and retirement benefits – will be paid with our tax dollars out of the $170 billion dictator budget."
