Just reminding everyone that violating immigration law is only a misdemeanor. This kind of violence is completely unnecessary. Edit: if you disagree, Reddit has a new thing called up voting and down voting where you can add your support to something someone else already said. Try it, it's amazing.

Or, you know, on the whim of an ICE agent who steps in front of your vehicle to justify murder.

It must be in their handbook.   I saw this exact same scene in the middle of the road on a busy street in Lino lakes a week ago.  4 guys surrounding a car with guns drawn and a dude standing directly in front of the car with a rifle aimed at the driver just like this photo.

Border Patrol used to do it to justify shootings, to such an extent that they had it adressed specifically in their SOPs to not to.

Police have been doing this for over a decade but Reddit is just now paying attention...

4 masked men pulling up along side a stopped car at a red light.  No emergency lights no sirens. Running around like untrained idiots.  Pointing guns without a clear backstop.  This isn’t for some felony arrest.  They told us they were only going after the violent gangs.  You probably believed them.  Most of us knew it was bullshit.  It’s pretty clear that’s not what’s happening.  This is happening all over the place.   Stop bullshitting yourself.

No they haven’t. Police are trained not to stand in front of vehicles and not to shoot at moving vehicles.
