White citizen gun owners get arrested and incarcerated on a regular basis by regular law enforcement instead of dying in shootouts too.
I think the reality is when ICE knock on your door (i) you're probably not holding your gun if you have one and (ii) as bad as being in a cage detained by masked thugs and deported (possibly even if you're a citizen) is, being shot dead by them isn't necessarily a better fate, particularly not if you suspect they would take great pleasure in "defending themselves" against your unarmed wife and children if given a half a reason
Of course I would guess that undocumented immigrants are less likely to have guns since they tend to avoid anything that could get them in trouble. I lived in SoCal for a while and had several neighbors who I suspect were but of course never asked.
BTW they were the nicest people. One of their daughters taught our oldest daughter to ride a bike.
The scapegoating and persecution of these people is gross. If we don’t want them here we should go after the employers who create the incentive for them to come, but that would mean going after white people.
