ICE has temporarily halted most vehicle stops after agents fatally shot individuals in Maine and Houston within a week of each other. The policy shift, confirmed across major outlets including NYT, BBC, and Fox News, represents a significant change following scrutiny over excessive force allegations during Trump's second term. Tom Homan, the top White House immigration official, characterized the halt as a temporary pause while enforcement of other immigration violations continues. Exemptions remain for drivers with violent criminal histories.
