The only problem with that sort of bravado is that the ICE agents are seldom alone, and it’s a fair bet there are even more waiting as backup in vehicles nearby. If somebody starts shooting at one of them it’s going to stir up a huge hornets nest that will likely result in a significant number of casualties.
Edit: Oh, and ICE has indeed been operating in Oklahoma to some extent since at least April.
and the cops are on ICE's side. so if shooting starts, well....
they wont hit super red areas, it will alienate thier base, and rile them up the gop as well.
