Trump administration does another about-face on ICE vehicle stop policy
The Trump administration has again walked back a decision to allow all Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers to pull vehicles over for traffic stops, reversing course two months after initially imposing the ban and then doing away with it.
TL;DR
- The Trump administration has reversed its policy on ICE officers conducting traffic stops.
- Previous directives from July and August have been superseded.
- Only ICE officers who have completed five specific training courses can now conduct traffic stops.
- This applies to both traditional traffic stops and high-risk/felony vehicle stops.
