They could've just shot out her tires. I think they were told to escalate and kill someone.
Here's the ICE agent "defending himself" by shooting into the driver's side window of a car that's pulling *away* from him.

Critically important point from Juliette. The only real justification for federalizing the nat guard over a governors objection is when the civil authorities are defying the law. This is attack on the sovereign right of the people of California to self government.
