Immigrants, DHS agents and traffic stops: Violent outcomes repeat across the US
The ACLU said 432 incidents included 76 traffic-stop cases and 22 shootings, with video often undermining DHS claims of self-defense.
- On July 13, Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents killed 25-year-old Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero in Maine, marking the 22nd person shot by federal immigration officers during President Donald Trump's second term.
- The Department of Homeland Security consistently accuses victims of using vehicles as weapons, a narrative often contradicted by independent video evidence; since January 2025, federal immigration officers have killed six people during an aggressive national deportation campaign.
- A Thursday report from the American Civil Liberties Union identified patterns of misconduct in more than 1,200 incidents during Trump's second term, finding agents pulled people from cars 76 times, smashed windows 47 times, and rammed vehicles 14 times.
- Following Guerrero's death, DHS briefly paused traffic stop enforcement, but the White House quickly ordered the agency to resume operations; White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt stated Thursday that officers will continue vehicle-related enforcement to support the deportation campaign.
- Congressional Republicans allocated $75 billion to ICE and U.S. Border Patrol this year, continuing a strategy that provided roughly $175 billion for immigration enforcement last year; Republican Sen. Susan Collins called for investigations despite the secure funding through September 2029.
