WASHINGTON, July 15 (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump on \u2060Wednesday \u2060said federal immigration agents won’t \u2060end vehicle stops, one day after officials announced a temporary \u200bpause in such stops after agents fatally shot two men in Texas and Maine.<\/p>\n

“We must \u200cbe strong, tough, and smart, and \u200cwe CANNOT give up one of I.C.E.\u2019s most important and effective Crime Fighting \u2060tools, THE \u2060TRAFFIC STOP!” Trump wrote in a social media post.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

On Tuesday, Trump \u200badministration officials said the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency had ordered its officers to suspend most vehicle stops around the country after two men were shot and killed by ICE \u200bagents during such stops six days apart.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

An ICE agent on Monday killed a driver \u2060from \u2060Colombia in the coastal Maine \u2060town of \u200bBiddeford, about 15 miles (24 km) south of Portland. An ICE officer in Houston on \u200bJuly 7 fatally shot \u2060a Mexican national while trying to stop his vehicle.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“It’s not a policy change, it’s a temporary pause,” Trump’s border czar Tom Homan told Fox News Channel in an interview on Tuesday referring to the vehicle stop suspension.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“This is going to be a short-term \u2060review to make sure ICE agents are safe and doing the right thing,” \u2060Homan told the television network, adding that officers will use other options to make arrests.<\/p>\n

\n

The back-to-back shootings sparked protests in Maine, Houston and Boston and raised questions over ICE agents’ lack of body cameras.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security, which oversees ICE, has characterized both men as “illegal aliens” but acknowledged neither was the intended target of deportation operations that led to their deaths.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Federal authorities have offered no evidence to support contentions that either man posed a \u2060threat to ICE agents or the public at large justifying the use of lethal force to stop them.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\n

At least seven people have been shot dead during federal immigration enforcement operations since January 2025, when Trump launched mass deportations \u200bafter returning to office following campaign promises of an immigration crackdown.<\/p>\n
