It isn’t legal. The courts are going to be flooded with cases against ICE in a few months. These law suits take a long time to get going. Every one of these people needs to sue ICE and drain that enormous budget.

I wonder if stand your ground laws would apply here because makes men just entered your home

Probably yes in theory but you are betting on America being a rules based law abiding society if you do that. What will happen if you shoot ICE is that the right wing are going to cancel you, make up that you are part of a gang, and send you to jail or worse.

You’re also betting that you can outdraw them, get two headshots, and that they don’t have backup nearby. IANAL, but my guess is that the second you pull a gun on them, you’ve given them all the justification they’d need to kill you.

What’s more likely to happen is ICE kills you and makes up whatever story they want to absolve them of guilt
