ICE suspends most vehicle stops after two fatal shootings by agents in Texas and Maine
US immigration officer kills Mexican man in Houston traffic stop
Continuation
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has suspended most vehicle stops following two deadly shootings involving its officers in Texas and Maine, according to multiple sources. The decision comes after agents fatally shot two men within six days during traffic stops.
The first incident occurred in Houston, Texas, where an ICE officer shot and killed a 52-year-old Mexican man, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. The second incident took place in Biddeford, Maine, where a 26-year-old Colombian man, Joan Sebastian Guerrero, was fatally shot by an ICE agent. According to reports, Guerrero was a courier with a work permit in the U.S. and was living with his wife and three-year-old daughter.
In a third incident in Florida, a man fleeing from ICE agents was struck and killed by a tractor-trailer. The man was one of four individuals who fled on foot during an encounter with ICE and Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) agents at a gas station in St. Augustine. The Florida Highway Patrol confirmed the death, stating that the man ran across a busy road and was hit by the truck.
The suspension of vehicle stops was confirmed by the Department of Homeland Security, which instructed officers to no longer stop moving vehicles to arrest or question the occupants. The decision follows recent incidents where ICE officers were involved in fatal shootings.
Reactions to the incidents have been strong. Colombian President Gustavo Petro called the shooting in Maine a "murder of a Latin American Colombian by the American government." He stated that Guerrero was killed because he was seen as a "lesser being without rights."
The incidents have also raised questions about the use of body cameras by ICE agents. According to reports, the agents involved in the Maine shooting were not wearing body cameras, which has sparked criticism and calls for greater accountability.
ICE's operations have been a subject of controversy, particularly under the administration of President Donald Trump, who has implemented strict immigration policies. The recent incidents have added to the scrutiny of ICE's methods and the use of force by its agents.
The Department of Homeland Security has not responded to inquiries about the status of the other three occupants of the vehicle in the Florida incident. The investigation into the incidents is ongoing.

El joven de 28 años formaba parte de los cuatro ocupantes de un vehículo que se detuvo en el aparcamiento de una gasolinera y una tienda de comida en St. Augustine antes de las 7 de la mañana. Durante un encuentro con agentes del Servicio de Inmigración y Control de Aduanas de EEUU (ICE), así como de Investigaciones de Seguridad Nacional (HSI), los cuatro huyeron a pie. Uno de ellos cruzó corriendo una carretera con mucho tráfico y fue atropellado por un camión, según explicó el sargento Dylan Bryan, de la Patrulla de Carreteras de Florida, en un comunicado enviado por correo electrónico citado por AP. El conductor del camión se detuvo e intentó ayudar al hombre, añadió Bryan. Se trata de la tercera muerte en aproximadamente una semana relacionada con enfrentamientos con agentes del ICE, tras los tiroteos ocurridos en Texas y Maine.
