President Donald Trump urged Immigration and Customs Enforcement to continue conducting vehicle stops, a day after his own administration directed the agency to suspend most such actions. The pause followed two fatal shootings by federal officers—Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in Houston and Joan Sebastian Durán Guerrero in Biddeford, Maine—both of whom, according to sources, were not the intended subjects of the enforcement operations. Border czar Tom Homan described the halt as a brief adjustment, but Trump argued on social media that traffic stops are a critical tool against illegal immigration. The Department of Homeland Security also announced plans to quickly equip officers with body cameras. Multiple local, state, and federal investigations are now examining the shootings.
