Agents will now only pursue traffic stops targeting individuals with serious or violent criminal histories
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents are being instructed to end "most" vehicle stops nationwide in a major policy shift, effective immediately.
According to multiple federal sources, ICE agents will cease making traffic stops, which have played a significant role in the agency’s operations until now. A federal source told Fox News that ICE will continue conducting vehicle stops only for those considered to be the most egregious targets with serious or violent criminal histories.
This comes after two people were killed in ICE officer-involved shootings in Maine and Texas in the last week.
A senior ICE source remarked to Fox News that the change is "horrible but needs to happen."
Another senior ICE source said this policy change will be temporary. According to the source, the new policy will remain in place until new training on vehicle stops is approved by Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin and given to agents operating in the field.
Until now, ICE agents have commonly carried out vehicle stops as part of the agency’s regular immigration enforcement operations. The stops, however, have grown increasingly controversial with incidents such as last week’s shootings.
This Monday, an ICE agent shot and killed a man in Biddeford, Maine, leading to hundreds of protesters marching by the shooting site. According to Sen. Angus King, I-Maine, Mullin told him in a phone call that the man killed in the shooting was not the intended target of the arrest warrant federal agents were executing.
In a statement to Fox News Digital, an ICE spokesperson said that agents were conducting "targeted surveillance on the last known address of an illegal alien with a final order of removal."

Probably temporary. Anyways communist anti-ICE theater got good results here.
Since he wasn’t the intended target, LEO just has to be run down? Eyewitness at the Maine event(see what I did) confirmed the deceased was driving AT the LEO.
🤔
Guess platner won’t be weighing in......
ICE shouldn’t be making traffic stops.
There you have. Now illegals can’t be collected if they are in their cars
Plus side the can’t go back in their home so that should empty out some housing
The fact that all of these “innocent” people were shot through the windshield, not the rear window, is prime evidence they were driving toward the officer
EC
Hogwash.
Why not? What do you think they should be doing?
???
ICE, along with any and all other agencies, should be pulling over illegal alien invaders, arresting them, and seizing the vehicles.
but we’ll still watch ,YOU!! ,LOL
My 5+ years on the DC Metropolitan Police Department taught me quite a bit about stopping traffic and dealing with the occupants.
What has your experience taught you?
Another senior ICE source said this policy change will be temporary. According to the source, the new policy will remain in place until new training on vehicle stops is approved by Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin and given to agents operating in the field.
Anonymous sources, FWIW ...
Has anyone determined:
Was the guy an illegal immigrant?
Was he driving illegally without a license?
Was his car legally registered?
Was he working off the payroll and not paying taxes to the fed or state government?
Was he illegally collecting welfare, medical payments, etc?
Was he violating any other laws?
If so, is it possible he could have been illegally driving at the officer?
ICE shouldn’t be making traffic stops.

That’s like saying the police shouldn’t be making traffic stops.
Legal law enforcement applies to all legal enforcement agencies.
15 years state trooper and uc narc. So, I have plenty.
So your ‘experience’ taught you that if a criminal is in a car, they should be given a free pass?
No wonder the DC police is a complete joke.
Ok, so the bastion of truthfulness know as the DC police department. I have 30+ years in business, it has taught me that asking the right question(s) is critical. Appears I did just that and hit a nerve, cause you didn’t answer my question, just went on the attack. So again, why shouldn’t ICE perform traffic stops? What should they do to remove large numbers of illegal aliens?
The left certainly won’t let evidence to the contrary, get in the way of a good narrative.
Big mistake, Ice needs to increase stops to get dem followers off the road.
