President Donald Trump insists immigration agents are ‘doing a great job’ despite the killings of Joan Sebastian Guerrero and Lorenzo Salgado Araujo this week enforcing a change of strategy
Responding to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) federal agency's decision to temporarily halt traffic stops after two fatal shootings in less than a week, United States President Donald Trump has called on officials to maintain the practice, insisting on its effectiveness. Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin on Wednesday did not address whether immigration agents will halt traffic stops in response to a call from President Trump to continue the practice, instead attacking Democrats he said have helped the public “defy” U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers shot and killed a driver July 13 in Maine, Reuters reported, less than a week after an ICE agent shot and killed a man in a traffic stop in Texas. US President Donald Trump on Wednesday said US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) should continue to use traffic stops despite a decision the previous day to suspend the practice.
Le Monde English reported the story as "Trump urges ICE immigration agents to keep up traffic stops despite killings." The Independent reported the story as "Trump defends traffic stops as ICE pauses them in the wake of two deadly shootings."
