ICE Ordered To Suspend Most Vehicle Stops

BIDDEFORD, Maine (AP) — Trump administration officials have told Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers to suspend most vehicle stops after two deadly shootings in little over a week, according to a person familiar with the matter. Tuesday’s order came a day after an ICE officer shot and killed a Colombian man in Maine, renewing criticism of the agency’s tactics during enforcement operations. The suspension is not absolute and there’s room for exceptions when executing a criminal warrant or working with partner agencies, according to a person who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive law enforcement operations. The Department of Homeland Security says an ICE officer, “fearing for public safety,” shot and killed the man.
