President Donald Trump declared that federal immigration officers will continue performing traffic stops, pushing back against a temporary suspension put in place after two fatal shootings by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents. On July 7 in Houston and again on July 13 in Biddeford, Maine, agents shot and killed a Mexican national and a Colombian driver, respectively, during vehicle stops; neither man was the intended target of deportation efforts, according to the Department of Homeland Security, which has labeled them “illegal aliens” but offered no proof they posed a threat. The back-to-back incidents sparked protests in multiple cities and raised concerns about agents lacking body cameras. Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, described the suspension as a short-term review focused on agent safety, not a policy shift. At least seven people have died in immigration enforcement operations since the president launched mass deportations in January.
