Trump presses ICE to continue traffic stops despite fatal shootings

President Donald Trump directed U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers to resume traffic stops after a one-day pause following the fatal shootings of two immigrants during vehicle stops in Texas and Maine. The Department of Homeland Security had initially halted such enforcement after the deaths, but Trump defended the policy as 'one of I.C.E.’s most important and effective' tools. Lawmakers, including Republican Sen. Susan Collins, called for a cessation of non-urgent vehicle stops, while Congress and Maine’s delegation demanded investigations into the incidents.
