The Customs and Border Patrol rules are in their handbook, PDF available online.
That said, I dont think ICE are actually classed as Customs and Border Patrol, but rather as part of Homeland Security, but I think their rules are very similar.

Chapter 2: Use of Deadly Force
1. Deadly force is force likely to cause serious bodily injury or death of a person.
2. Authorized Officers/Agents may use deadly force only when necessary; that is,when the officer/agent has a reasonable belief that the subject of such force poses an imminent danger of serious bodily injury or death to the officer/agent or to another person.
- a. Serious Bodily Injury - Physical injury that involves protracted and obvious disfigurement; protracted loss or impairment of the function of a bodily member, organ, or mental faculty; or a substantial risk of death.
3. Discharging a firearm at a person shall be done only with the intent of stopping that person from continuing the threatening behavior that justifies the use of deadly force.
4. Discharging a firearm as a warning is prohibited except for the limited circumstances described in Chapter 3.C.
5. Discharging a firearm as a distress signal is permitted in emergency situations.
6. Deadly force shall not be used solely to prevent the escape of a fleeing subject.
However, deadly force is authorized to prevent the escape of a fleeing subject where the officer/agent has a reasonable belief that the subject poses a significant threat of death or serious physical harm to the officer/agent or others and such force is necessary to prevent escape.
7. Authorized Officers/Agents shall not discharge their firearms at the operator of a moving vehicle, vessel, or aircraft unless deadly force is necessary, that is, when the officer/agent has a reasonable belief that the operator poses an imminent danger of serious bodily injury or death to the officer/agent or to another person.
- a. Such deadly force may include a moving vehicle aimed at officers/agents or others present, but would not include a moving vehicle merely fleeing from officers/agents unless the vehicle or the escape of the subject poses an imminent threat of serious bodily injury or death to the officer/agent or to another person.
- b. The hazard of an uncontrolled conveyance shall be taken into consideration prior to the use of deadly force.
8. Firearms shall not be fired solely to disable motor vehicles, vessels, aircraft, or other conveyances. The only exception is that Authorized Officers/Agents, when conducting maritime law enforcement operations, may use specifically authorized firearms and ammunition to disable moving vessels or other maritime conveyances (See Chapter 3.C).
9. A firearm may be used in self-defense or in defense of another person to prevent an imminent attack by an animal. A firearm may also be used to euthanize an
animal that appears to be seriously injured or diseased. This discharge does not constitute a use of deadly force.
10.The act of establishing a grip, drawing a weapon, or pointing a weapon does not constitute the use of deadly force.
