Since Trump took office on Jan. 20 of last year, immigration enforcement agents have shot 19 people, and killed at least seven of them. 2025 is tied for the deadliest year for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) since its founding in 2003, with 32 people dying in the agency's custody. Over the last few weeks, tensions surrounding ICE have gone from a simmer to a boil after immigration enforcement agents shot and killed poet Renee Good and ICU nurse Alex Pretti. DHS Secretary Kristi Noem responded to the killing of Pretti by saying he was brandishing a weapon and "impeded the law enforcement officers and attacked them." And some local government officials, including in Arlington, Virginia and San Luis Obispo, California, are encouraging citizens to call 911 on ICE agents.
