U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents have been ordered to pause most traffic stops following two fatal shootings. Donald Trump’s border advisor, Tom Homan, described the action as a “temporary pause,” denying it was a “policy change.” On July 15, Trump appeared to contradict the agency, saying that traffic controls should continue. Protests against ICE activities persist in Maine, where a 25‑year‑old Colombian man was fatally shot two days earlier.
