Trump Praises ICE Following Killings: 'Doing a GREAT Job'

Carry On

The president called for traffic stops to resume, despite the administration ordering the agency to pause them on Tuesday

Immigration and Customs Enforcement has been carrying out a terror campaign against immigrants since Donald Trump retook office last year. ICE has shot at least 21 people since last March, including recently shooting and killing two men in vehicles in the span of a week. The killings have sparked protest, and even led the agency to pause most traffic stops.

The president finally responded to the uproar on Wednesday … by offering unequivocal praise of ICE and insisting agents continue to conduct traffic stops.

“The men and women of ICE are doing a GREAT job, one that has to be done,” Trump wrote on Truth Social, adding that “we must be strong, tough, and smart, and we CANNOT give up one of I.C.E.’s most important and effective Crime Fighting tools, THE TRAFFIC STOP! Once we do, we are playing right into the criminal’s hands.”
