ICE Halts Vehicle Stops After Fatal Shootings | Annapolis News

ICE has suspended most vehicle stops amid mounting controversy following two fatal shootings in the past week, prompting a major shift in enforcement strategy. In Houston, an undocumented immigrant allegedly rammed an officer’s car; in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man was killed after allegedly using his vehicle as a weapon during a chase. Both incidents involved ICE agents from the Enforcement and Removal Operations division — the only exceptions to the pause are joint operations with other agencies serving criminal warrants. Conflicting reports suggest neither victim in either case was the intended target. Compounding the uproar, no body cameras were worn by agents in either incident, with DHS citing government shutdowns as the reason. Families are demanding answers, and calls for independent investigations are growing louder. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
