Trump Demands ICE Resume Traffic Stops Right After Fatal Shootings

Original version ·

Just hours after federal agents paused traffic stops over fatal shootings, Trump ordered them right back onto the highways.

When federal agents kill two people during routine traffic stops in a single week, taking a brief pause to review safety protocols seems like standard procedure. But Donald Trump jumped on Truth Social to call off the pause entirely.

The brief halt came after ICE agents fatally shot a 26-year-old legal worker in Maine and another man in Texas. Neither victim was actually the target of the operations. Meanwhile, a third person fleeing agents on foot was struck and killed by a semi-truck in Florida.

Trump declared that traffic stops are one of the most effective crime-fighting tools and ordered agents straight back to work on the roads. He insisted that pausing enforcement plays right into the hands of criminals, brushing off safety concerns while praising officers for doing a great job.

Public safety policy is now officially being written via late-night social media posts.
