Overview
- Two separate ICE vehicle stops resulted in fatal shootings, one on July 7 that killed Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in Houston and another on July 13 that killed Joan Sebastian Durán Guerrero in Biddeford, Maine.
- ICE briefly paused most traffic stops while procedures were reviewed, but President Donald Trump directed agents to resume those stops within about 24 hours.
- White House border czar Tom Homan said cameras have been purchased and trainers are being prepared so officers will be required to wear at least one body camera during vehicle stops.
- Reports that the FBI was instructed to stop investigating confrontations involving immigration agents have circulated widely, though the Department of Justice and Department of Homeland Security issued a joint denial of any policy change.
- The killings have sparked large local protests, bipartisan calls for transparent probes, and broader scrutiny of ICE tactics during an expanded enforcement surge that critics link to rising deaths and questions about vetting and training.
