President Donald Trump is reversing course on a brief pause in ICE vehicle stops, ordering the agency to get back to using what he called one of its most effective enforcement tools.

The move comes just one day after the Department of Homeland Security suspended most vehicle stops by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers while agents received updated tactical training. The pause followed two fatal officer-involved shootings in less than a week, both involving men who were later confirmed not to be the intended targets of ICE operations.

Trump made it clear he wasn't on board with the temporary policy.

Calling vehicle stops "one of ICE's most important and effective Crime Fighting tools," Trump argued that ending them would only benefit criminals.

"The Radical Left Dumocrats would like to see this done, but it won't happen on my watch," Trump wrote. "ICE, be judicious, fair and smart, and go back and do your very important job."

The now-reversed policy had temporarily prevented ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations agents from conducting vehicle stops while they underwent additional training.

The change followed Monday's deadly shooting in Biddeford, Maine.

According to ICE, agents had gone to an address to serve a final removal order when a vehicle tried to leave the scene.

"The vehicle attempted to flee the scene and, fearing for public safety, an officer discharged his weapon," ICE said. The agency added that "the driver of the vehicle was struck."

The victim, Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero, was later confirmed by the Department of Homeland Security to not be the person agents were trying to arrest.

The shooting quickly drew attention from Maine's congressional delegation.

Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) said she spoke with DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin after the incident and urged him to stop non-urgent vehicle stops while the department reviewed what happened.

"I am encouraged that the Department has agreed to do so," Collins wrote on X.

Sen. Angus King said he also pressed for answers.

"I called on DHS Secretary Mullin to launch a full, fair, and transparent investigation—and I'm going to hold him to his word there will be one," King wrote.

Hundreds of protesters later gathered in Biddeford following the shooting.

The Maine case came just days after another ICE shooting in Houston. Agents stopped 52-year-old Lorenzo Salgado Araujo on his way to work after spotting what they described as "a white van with an individual who resembled the target" of an operation.

ICE said an officer fired in self-defense after Araujo allegedly rammed an agency vehicle. But officials later acknowledged that Araujo was not the person they had been looking for.

Despite the backlash over both shootings, Trump's directive signals that ICE vehicle stops will continue as the administration defends the tactic as an important part of immigration enforcement.
