The facts
On July 15, 2026, President Trump directed ICE to resume traffic stops as an arrest tactic, overruling senior officials who had paused the practice.
The reversal followed two fatal shootings by ICE agents during traffic stops in Texas and Maine within days of each other.
ICE arrests surged in 2025, with the agency reporting more than 100,000 interior arrests in the first months of Trump's second term, according to DHS data.
Federal courts have repeatedly ruled that immigration agents need reasonable suspicion, not just ethnicity or language, to justify vehicle stops.
Roughly a dozen states, including California and Illinois, restrict local police from assisting ICE in traffic-based immigration enforcement.
