Two people were injured, including a US marshal, during an immigration enforcement operation early Tuesday in Los Angeles, the Department of Homeland Security said.
An Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent’s weapon discharged when the agent tried to grab an individual who apparently rammed into a vehicle that was part of a team of ICE and US marshals engaged in immigration enforcement, a law enforcement source tells CNN.
Even if they were, this isn’t what any of these people are trained for. Federal agents are not local police. They don’t go out on patrol or randomly deal with stressful situations. TV makes it seem like federal agents are out chasing bad guys every day but they spend a huge amount of time following leads, interviewing people, and digging up information from various sources (of which i make no comments on the legality of). None of these people are trained to be beat cops on the front lines every day this way.
