ICE suspends vehicle stops after two fatal shootings by agents

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has temporarily suspended its vehicle stops for immigration enforcement purposes following two fatal shootings of drivers by agents within a six-day period. The decision came after an ICE officer fatally shot a driver in Maine, who authorities stated attempted to flee during a traffic stop. This incident, occurring shortly after a similar fatal shooting in Texas, has prompted a review of ICE's use-of-force policies, which permit deadly force only when there is an imminent danger of serious injury or death, not solely to prevent a suspect's escape.
