## Resource

Trump fiercely defends ICE traffic stops, calling them vital for catching criminals and deporting those he blames for entering illegally under prior administrations. Amid rising public outcry after three recent deadly encounters — including two shootings and one fatal truck collision — experts warn vehicle pursuits are dangerously risky. Since Trump took office, at least ten people have died in immigration enforcement operations, four in vehicle-related incidents. Senator Susan Collins is urging DHS to halt non-urgent stops, while a former ICE official estimates 18 shootings have occurred during traffic stops under the current administration — as tensions mount over enforcement versus safety.
