New ICE Guidance Bans High-Speed Car Chases and Sets Tighter Rules for Traffic Stops, a Memo Shows
The memo follows several shootings and requires trained officers, body cameras and follow-up on vehicle information instead of pursuits.
- Immigration and Customs Enforcement issued new guidance requiring officers to complete one of six training courses before conducting vehicle stops, while mandating body-worn cameras, lights, and sirens on all stop vehicles.
- Following fatal shootings in Texas and Maine, Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin paused vehicle stops in July; President Donald Trump later overturned that decision, creating internal tension over immigration enforcement priorities.
- Officers are authorized to pin vehicles for safety but prohibited from engaging in vehicle pursuits if suspects fail to stop. Instead, they must take down vehicle information for further investigation, according to the memo signed by ICE's executive associate director Marcos D. Charles and dated Wednesday.
- Vehicle stops remain a central tool for the administration's immigration crackdown, though the guidance aims to standardize procedures following fatal incidents involving immigrants and citizens, including a recent shooting in Austin.
