This is a list of shootings by U.S. immigration agents during the second Trump administration (2025âÂÂpresent). Federal immigration agencies in the United States include Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP), which are both housed in the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS). There have been at least shootings by immigration agents since January 20, 2025, resulting in 9 deaths.
Analysts have noted an unusually large proportion of shootings by immigration agents involving moving vehicles. In January 2026, The Wall Street Journal identified at least 13 instances of immigration officers "firing at or into civilian vehicles" since July 2025, resulting in at least 8 total gunshot wounds, two of which led to deaths. At least 5 of the people shot in this time period were also U.S. citizens.
Many U.S. police agencies, including the federal Department of Justice, have trained officers not to fire into moving vehicles or have banned the practice outside of rare circumstances, such as a driver shooting at people or already attempting to run them over. Firing at a moving driver is difficult, risks hitting innocent people in the vehicle or on the street, and can lead to collisions due to the death of the driver. Some cases have resulted in the deaths of minors or pregnant women and have subsequently sparked public protests or backlash. Police are also trained not to endanger themselves by standing in front of moving or stationary vehicles, and that intentionally putting themselves in danger does not create a right of self-defense. According to various police agencies, safer alternatives include recording the license plate of an escaping vehicle to track down the occupants later, and moving out of the path of the vehicle.
The table below distinguishes by "agency"; the agency structure at hand is as follows, with leadership listed for the time period of this list, as in a sense all of them are the same agency, and in another, there are more than the two listed involved:
Presumably, CBP shootings are always USBP shootings, as the USBP comprises the set of CBP agents tasked with enforcing security, but media sources seldom distinguish the two. Due to Gregory Bovino's unique place in the command structure, shootings involving his agents cannot be assigned to only one "agency" with confidence until the specific shooters are known. By definition, every shooting in this table involves at least one DHS agent, as all "immigration" agents are within the DHS.
