ICE Halts Immigration Traffic Stops

ICE is putting most of its traffic stops on hold nationwide after two fatal shootings within a week, reports Reuters and the New York Times. The move, which has not been publicly announced, comes after federal agents fatally shot an immigrant in Texas last week and another in Maine on Monday. Both men were shot after agents attempted to stop their vehicles. It was not immediately clear how long the suspension would be in place. Maine Sen. Susan Collins, up for reelection in a closely watched race, had urged Homeland Security chief Markwayne Mullin to "cease all non-urgent vehicle stops" after the shooting in her state.
