Immigrants, DHS agents and traffic stops: Violent outcomes repeat across the US

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents killed 22 people during traffic stops under President Donald Trump's second term, including 25-year-old Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero, a Colombian national with legal work authorization. The Department of Homeland Security paused traffic stop enforcement after recent shootings but resumed it following Trump's orders, with congressional Republicans allocating over $250 billion for immigration enforcement since 2025.
