ICE Traffic Stops Were Just Halted, Then Swiftly Reinstated
The reversal came after protests and criticism as federal agents have shot more than 20 people since last year, most during vehicle encounters.
- On Wednesday, President Donald Trump reversed a temporary suspension of Immigration and Customs Enforcement vehicle stops, demanding agents continue the practice despite two recent fatal shootings.
- The agency had briefly paused stops following the July 13 killing of Johan Sebastian Duran Guerrero in Maine and the July 7 death of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in Houston, as agents ramped up street operations to meet arrest targets.
- "We must be strong, tough, and smart, and we CANNOT give up one of ICE's most important and effective Crime Fighting tools," Trump wrote on Truth Social, while critics warn high-pressure tactics increase risks for officers and civilians.
- Hundreds of demonstrators protested in Maine and New York City this week, demanding the abolition of ICE, while Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin defended the strategy, citing a "more than 1,300%" increase in vehicle attacks against officers.
- Federal law enforcement officials remain concerned, with some telling CNN that the vague justification of "public safety" does not sufficiently explain why deadly force was used, as investigations continue during the administration's aggressive deportation push.
