Trump: ICE should continue traffic stops after recent shootings

President Trump supports Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) continuing traffic stops despite a recent policy change intended to halt them. He states ICE is doing a “GREAT job” and insists that “we CANNOT give up one of ICE’s most important and effective Crime Fighting tools, THE TRAFFIC STOP!”

This response follows two fatal shootings involving ICE officers within a week, prompting renewed criticism of their tactics. In one case, a man was killed after running from immigration officers and being struck by a truck. Critics, including Senator Susan Collins, have urged a halt to non-urgent vehicle stops due to the risks involved.
