ICE agents pause most vehicle stops amid deadly incidents

Police in Saint Augustine Florida say a man running from ICE agents has been struck and killed by a tractor trailer. That's the third death in just a week. ICE agents have routinely carried out vehicle stops as part of the agency's regular immigration enforcement operations but recent deadly incidents have cast a shadow on the maneuver. A new policy shift aims to change the department's tactics perspective immediately. Fox's Alexis McAdam explains. There are sufficient critical questions to justify bringing non-emergency traffic stops to a halt. Sources tell Fox ICE has ordered officers to temporarily pause most vehicle stops during immigration enforcement operations except for the most serious criminal targets. I think that's a positive step and I think Mark Wayne has been really smart to say let the cops do their job they need to be safe. Sources say the break will be used to give agents additional training. They aren't trained in many of the tactics that they are being asked to conduct. This comes after two fatal ICE involved shootings in less than a week. One in Texas and one in Maine. Some Democrats and Republicans agree DHS does need to make changes but not everyone is convinced the change will get to the root cause. There's no doubt that ICE needs to improve its performance but those who are calling for ICE to be abolished altogether are ignoring absolutely vital safety work that ICE does. I'm also concerned that many of the changes that they're talking about are probably temporary and just for a month. These aren't substantive changes and this isn't real accountability. Now sources say agents will still use these stops to go after the most serious offenders out in the streets and no enforcement numbers will drop temporarily while agents undergo additional training.
