ICE Halts Most Traffic Stops After Two Fatal Shootings in One Week
NPR·Wednesday, 15 July 2026
US Immigration and Customs Enforcement has paused most non-urgent vehicle stops after agents fatally shot two men in their cars — one in Houston, Texas, and one in Biddeford, Maine — within a single week. Mexico's president has already announced criminal complaints over migrant deaths in US custody. The pause was confirmed by Senator Angus King's office to NPR.
