Shot from behind by federal agents, seems the key missing element of that title.
If you treat people as a group, they tend to lock together as a group. The police are already getting pissed off with ICE, in many places. That crack needs to be pryed open. Indifferent, pissed off police/FBI etc is a lot better than them standing in lockstep with ICE.
Yah we can do more good leveraging the fact that most of these ICE agents are illegitimate and just poorly trained ticks riding on Trump's political narratives and not real federal agents.
We can make the cops hate them and support the narrative that these ICE goons are trying to usurp local authority.
Then when the tide turns and ICE is pushed back into the sea or wherever the fuck they came from, we can go back to hating on the cops. We gotta take the stairs one step at a time.
It's worth noting, that the police issue in America is very solvable. Most of the Western world's police use a "police by consent" default. America's "police by overwhelming force" is the outlier. It leads to a lot of your issues over there. While they are far from perfect, the UK police are far better than America police.
It's worth looking for the opportunity to reform the police in the process, not just hate on them (ineffectively).
+1 to pushing ICE into the sea, and reclaiming our own.

they’re hardly federal agents
while threatening them with a car. ...
Anyone can shoot someone in a car at any time, because they're armed with a deadly weapon, got it.
