ICE pauses vehicle stops after fatal shootings in Texas and Maine

Federal immigration officers have been ordered to stop conducting vehicle stops following two deadly incidents involving ICE officials.

• A homeland security source confirmed that ICE officers received instructions to suspend vehicle stops until further notice.
• The directive followed the killings of Joan Sebastian Guerrero in Maine and Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in Texas by ICE officers within the past week.
• A Department of Homeland Security spokesperson said the agency will not disclose or discuss law enforcement tactics.
• Fox News reported the suspension is temporary and will remain until ICE officers complete new training on vehicle stops.
