If ICE went into the Embassy with aggressive intent, and an Embassy security guard pulled out a gun and took out the threat, what would this be considered?
Technically, ICE is acting in the capacity of a government agent.
I guess the same could be said if ICE crosses into Canada or Mexico (or Italy).
Embassies are considered the sovereign land of the respective nation. ICE has no jurisdiction or power in Ecuador. Killing an ICE agent with aggressive intent in the embassy would be considered a “diplomatic situation”, but not against the law.
Trump would throw a fit. Might even do something very rash. But legally it would be their right to use lethal force to protect their sovereign land.
And every other country would be wondering if their consulates were safe if he did anything. It would cost the US dearly, especially if nations we were allied with started pulling their embassies out.
If the US were to to violate the Vienna Convention On Diplomatic Relations this would have extreme consequences for diplomatic relations to all other countries. Even the most backwards shit ass dictatorships honor this convention.

Realistically Trump would threaten Ecuador and or sanction them for killing government employees.
They’d only use it as an excuse to attack their leaders and try to install their own.
“1000% TARRIFS!” Because he stupidly thinks tarrifs are a punishment.

We’ve already had your border baffoons enter Canada to fuck with us.
