Cops Are Taught Not to Shoot Into Cars. ICE Keeps Doing It Anyway.
Immigration agents have shot at least nine people since September. All of them have been in cars.
The pattern raises serious concerns. For decades, cops have been trained not to shoot at moving vehicles. New York City’s police department banned firing at unarmed drivers in 1972. After it did so, police shootings plummeted in the city. All of the country’s largest 25 cities generally prohibit firing at vehicles as well, a Times investigation found in 2021.
