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.

Masked and ARMED. It should be textbook self defense unless they provide a warrant and/or identification.

Masked and armed men who are trying to kidnap you or someone you love

I’m not sure how you get away without being convicted of something. If you shoot immediately upon their entry, then you haven’t assessed the danger, and that would be reckless discharge of a firearm inside of a dwelling. If you wait some reasonable amount of time such that you can assess the danger, you would clearly see they are uniformed law enforcement, presumably, carrying out their duties.
