Federal officers have fatally shot at least three other people in the last five months, according to news reports reviewed by The Marshall Project. In September, Silverio Villegas González, a father originally from Mexico who worked as a cook, was killed while reportedly trying to flee from officers in a Chicago suburb, WBEZ reported. In December, a border patrol agent killed a 31-year-old Mexican citizen while trying to detain him in Rio Grande, Texas. And on New Year's Eve, an off-duty ICE agent used his service weapon to shoot a man in Los Angeles, California, according to CBS News. Authorities said the man had raised a rifle at the officer.

...

In addition to shootings, federal immigration officers have pointed their guns at activists and bystanders. Illinois State Rep. Hoan Huynh said agents blocked his car and pointed a gun at him while he was trying to alert community members about the presence of immigration officers and inform them of their rights, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.

A pregnant Illinois woman told Newsweek she thought her life was about to end when a federal agent pointed his gun through her car window, after she honked her horn to alert people ICE was nearby.

In another incident in Chicago, a combat veteran alleged in a court filing that a federal officer said “bang, bang” and “you’re dead, liberal” while pointing a handgun at him.

Not to mention the organization, activists, and literal training on how to handle things like this. From watching Portland and Chicago deal with ICE, to having dealt with Riots just a few years ago we've got a pretty damn good system now.

I've only seen 3 videos/3angles covering this specific one, but you can see many many more people filming.
