Senate Heat for Todd Blanche and ICE Pauses Traffic Stops
It's a big day in Washington: the new top cop Todd Blanche is heading to the hot seat, while ICE is quietly telling agents to stop pulling cars over.
First up, Todd Blanche—yes, the guy who defended Donald Trump in court—is stepping up for his official Senate job interview to become the permanent Attorney General. Expect a lot of grandstanding, a lot of tough questions, and probably a decent amount of sweating.
But the real kicker today is happening out on the asphalt. ICE has officially paused most of its highway traffic stops. Why? Because things have gotten incredibly messy. After a series of recent deadly shootings during roadside stops, the agency decided that playing highway patrol is just too dangerous right now.
It turns out that pulling people over on the side of a busy interstate to check their papers is a recipe for disaster. Who would have thought?
Running a massive law enforcement apparatus is much harder when the boots on the ground are ordered to stop doing half their daily routine just to keep everyone alive.
