This analysis by the New York Times paints a damning picture of ICE's decision to kill Alex Pretti after Pretti had attempted to help a woman who had been shoved (assaulted) by ICE. ICE had Pretti pinned on the ground when one agent appears to come across a gun. After taking the gun, they kill him.

ICE policy on use of force states that an agent doesn’t need to wait for an attack to start before using force. In criminal law, an overt threatening act is required to sustain a claim of self defense. An administrative policy that permits recklessness is not exculpatory.

In the past, when some national tragedy occurred, political and law enforcement leaders would issue statements calling for calm and promising a full and transparent investigation. Under Trump, top federal officials announced their conclusion before the investigation began and vilified the victim.
