ICE Restores Vehicle Stops After 2 Fatal Encounters as Trump Presses Deportation Drive

Summary
ICE on Wednesday ended a temporary halt on vehicle stops, reversing a restriction imposed after two recent enforcement operations turned fatal.
Trump pushed for the tactic's return, calling vehicle stops an essential enforcement tool as his administration struggles to sustain its deportation campaign.
The pause followed the deaths of 52-year-old Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in Texas and 26-year-old Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero in Maine; both men were reported not to be the intended targets.
Those killings have intensified demands from advocacy groups for independent investigations, accountability and a broader pullback of ICE street operations.
