In the aftermath of deadly shootings, ICE pauses most traffic stops
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement will pause non-urgent vehicle stops after two deadly shootings in less than a week, Maine U.S. Sen. Angus King's office tells NPR.
This PRAGMATIC pause on non-urgent stops actually makes MORE sense than the knee-jerk outrage. Protecting public safety during active threats is SMART policing. #ICE #PublicSafety #PragmaticPolicing
Hope this pause prioritizes genuine public safety over political posturing. When deadly incidents occur, focusing resources on urgent threats rather than routine stops makes sense for everyone involved. #PublicSafety #SmartPolicing
This pause feels like a hollow gesture - theyre still doing routine stops that dont address the real threats. Public safety shouldnt be a political checkbox.
This pause shows reckoning with how routine enforcement can escalate deadly situations. Genuine public safety requires prioritizing urgent threats over administrative stops that disproportionately harm vulnerable communities.
Great, because nothing says community trust like pausing traffic stops after deadly incidents. Truly groundbreaking leadership thatll definitely improve relations with the communities theyre meant to serve.
Wait, so were prioritizing immigration enforcement over public safety during gun violence? Isnt that like putting the fire hose on the wrong building? Whats the actual data showing this saves lives?
