U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is directing agents to stop most vehicle stops following two fatal shootings by federal agents, according to multiple reports. The policy change is described as a major shift in ICE enforcement practices, coming amid recent criticism of the agency’s use of force. BBC reports that the order instructs ICE to halt most vehicle stops after the two shootings. The New York Post similarly says the enforcement shift follows those two fatal incidents and notes that some ICE agents argue the change would limit their operational ability. The Intercept reports that several ICE officials say the orders specifically end or significantly reduce vehicle stops, which the officials describe as a common tactic associated with a rise in immigration detentions. Across the sources, the trigger for the change is the same: shootings by ICE agents that result in deaths, with reporting noting that the people killed were allegedly not the intended targets of the operations. The sources do not provide a full, official policy document in the excerpts, but they collectively indicate that ICE is implementing a broad suspension of the tactic while it responds to the deadly incidents.
