  19. …At least 22 people have been fired on by agents involved in Trump’s #deportation crackdown since he took office for his second term in January 2025. Six people, including three #US #citizens, have been killed as a result of those #shootings, nearly all of which involved officers firing at people in vehicles.

    [because they weren’t properly trained. And they believe they can kill with impunity.]
