The Trump administration stopped ICE from using traffic stops for immigration enforcement. This followed the deaths of two men shot by ICE agents. The move caused criticism of ICE’s actions.

ICE, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, had been conducting traffic stops. Two men died during these stops: a 25-year-old Colombian man in Maine and a 26-year-old Colombian man in Maine. The shootings led to the administration ordering a suspension of these checks. Concerns were raised about ICE’s use of force and its impact on communities. The move also sparked debate about immigration enforcement and border security.
