White House Reverses Suspension of ICE Vehicle Stops After Two Fatal Shootings

The White House said July 16 that ICE vehicle stops are resuming, reversing a pause ordered after agents fatally shot two immigrants during stops in Houston and Biddeford, Maine, in early July 2026. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said, "Vehicle stops are continuing." President Trump backed the reversal on Truth Social. No written directive has been issued.
