Summary
The piece argues that fleeing from immigration officers does not justify the use of deadly force. It criticizes U.S. immigration and border agents for shooting at people suspected of immigration violations, stressing that law enforcement should prioritize de-escalation, preservation of life, and due process. While police are often given the benefit of the doubt for split-second decisions, this should not amount to blanket immunity, nor excuse poor training and leadership. The article notes that far more civilians die in police encounters in the U.S. than in peer countries, warns that treating a fleeing vehicle as a “weapon” is an overreaction that erodes public trust, and calls on the Department of Homeland Security to rein in officers, discipline those who misuse force, and fully cooperate with independent investigations.
