I think people have the wrong impression that ICE has a legal authority to enforce traffic laws.
They can't just pull somebody over because they want to.
They can't tell somebody to move their vehicle or get out of their vehicle if they're not impeding.

For decades, cops have been trained not to shoot at moving vehicles.
Instead, they are taught to do something much safer for everybody involved: Get out of the way. But the federal agents enforcing President Trump’s mass deportation campaign seem to be taking a far more dangerous path.

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.
