The fatal shooting of Renée Good last week, as ICE officers and residents faced off on a residential street here, has brought new attention to these activities. “Could a prosecutor make a credible case that a person is interfering if they’re blocking an agent’s car or slowing them down? If law enforcement can make a claim that it’s impeding enforcement, they can make a case,” he said. But many law enforcement experts have questioned the officer’s decision to position himself in front of Good’s running vehicle and open fire. “It doesn’t create a right to commit traffic violations or physically attempt to block a law enforcement vehicle,” he said.
