Border czar Tom Homan defended Immigration and Customs Enforcement\u2019s temporary halt of most car stops, saying the agency won\u2019t bring down its number of arrests in the meantime.<\/p>\n

Homan characterized Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin and acting ICE Director David Venturella\u2019s pause on the vehicle stops<\/u><\/span> as \u201cshort,\u201d telling reporters on Tuesday that he expects agents will resume the tactic in a couple weeks.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wouldn\u2019t even call this a bump in the road \u2014 this is going to be a short-term review, so ICE feels comfortable that their agents are safe, they\u2019re doing the right thing and get back to doing what they do best,\u201d he told Fox News on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

ICE agents fatally shot two drivers within a week: a Mexican immigrant in Houston on July 7 and a Colombian national in Biddeford, Maine, on Monday. Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) urged Mullin that night to cease all non-urgent vehicle stops.<\/p>\n

Homan said the administration remains committed to carrying out mass deportations, adding that ICE completed the most arrests in its history last month. Agents can arrest people in other settings so the number of arrests won\u2019t decrease under the pause, Homan said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve done this a long time,\u201d he told reporters in front of the White House. \u201cYou can certainly arrest the alien before he gets in the car and he leaves home. You can certainly arrest the alien when he parks the car, where he gets to where he\u2019s going.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rep. Chellie Pingree (D-Maine) called Homan\u2019s Fox News comments disgraceful in a post on X<\/u><\/span>.<\/p>\n

\u201cTwo people have been killed by ICE in just the past week. Both were fathers. They\u2019ll never see their children again,\u201d Pingree wrote. \u201cBut to Tom Homan, they\u2019re \u2018not even a bump in the road.\u2019 What a disgusting thing to say.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another Mexican man died<\/u><\/span> in St. Augustine, Fla., Tuesday morning after being struck by a tractor-trailer as he ran from ICE and Homeland Security Investigations agents, according to a statement from Master Sgt. Dylan L. Bryan with the Florida Highway Patrol.<\/p>\n

Rep. Greg Casar (D-Texas) told NOTUS the recent deaths showed how the Trump administration\u2019s deportation policies put everyone at risk.<\/p>\n

\u201cICE continues to hide information from us, refuses to tell the truth in many of these cases, but soon enough we\u2019re going to have a Democratic House majority that\u2019s going to force them to answer these questions,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

House Homeland Security Committee Chair Andrew Garbarino (R-New York) has requested DHS brief members on ICE\u2019s use-of-force policies and body camera deployment, a committee aide said in a statement. The agents involved in the Houston and Maine shootings didn\u2019t have body cameras because of the government shutdown, DHS said in a statement. The department shutdown ended in April.<\/p>\n
