Trump Pressures ICE to Resume Traffic Stops After Agency Pulls Back
"President Trump on Wednesday demanded that Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers continue to stop vehicles as they seek to detain people in the country without legal status, despite two fatal shootings that led to a temporary halt to the practice just a day before.
Department of Homeland Security officials did not explicitly say whether they were resuming the traffic stops, which they had largely halted after ICE agents shot and killed one person in Houston and another in Biddeford, Maine, in the span of one week. But Markwayne Mullin, the homeland security secretary, said in a social media post on Wednesday evening that he was “on the same page” with Mr. Trump and that they wanted ICE officers to “have all options available to keep them safe” while carrying out the administration’s deportation campaign."
