lol fucking Vice
This appears to be the paragraph that they are trying to send people into a tizzy over:

Now, saying "deadly force is authorized anytime..." is probably bad optics but only when you ignore what comes after it. "...under Ch 9 Texas Penal Code"
That scary sentence just means that border patrol agents are to follow the
state law as it relates to deadly force. Which means they can only use deadly force if someone else: "is use or attempted use of unlawful deadly force; or... to prevent the other's imminent commission of aggravated kidnapping, murder, sexual assault, aggravated sexual assault, robbery, or aggravated robbery."
Vice is acting like the snipers were going to start shooting waves of protestors because in a briefing they were told they are to follow the law as every other police department every other day and react to deadly force with deadly force as reasonable.
