ICE should keep making traffic stops despite recent shootings, Trump says
· KRGV (NBC 5)
President Donald Trump has expressed his support for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers to continue conducting traffic stops, despite recent fatal shootings involving federal agents. Following a directive to suspend most vehicle stops, Trump argued that halting these stops would empower criminals. Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin reiterated that individuals illegally in the U.S. would be arrested and deported. The controversy intensified after three deaths linked to ICE encounters were reported in a week, leading to calls from some lawmakers to cease non-urgent traffic stops. Protests erupted in Maine after the shooting of a Colombian national by ICE officers.
