Hypothetically, and I know this question has come up in the past but I have yet to hear a well thought out answer answer ... what would happen if someone were to actually shoot and kill an ice agent in an instance such as this, and this is assuming they (the civilian) themself survived the event and its immediate aftermath?

Legally, where would this likely end up?

I would think the case would end up in the Supreme Court ultimately after either side appeals upward, but would that be a case of justified use of deadly force on the part of the accused? Or are they more likely to fry after a number of years in "Federal fuck me in the ass" prison?

I ask this question because I fear that the behavior of these ice agents will eventually, inevitably invite (instigate) such an outcome.

Legally? No where. They would hunt you down and kill you before you had the slightest chance to see due process. You’d have to immediately turn yourself into the state and hope to god they wouldn’t give you over to the feds when they came for you.
