Meanwhile, 44 percent say ICE is untrustworthy, while 17 percent say ICE is neither trustworthy nor untrustworthy. Combining the two latter measures, the survey suggests that 6 in 10 Americans would not describe the agency as trustworthy. <\/p>\n<p>A PRRI survey in March also demonstrated that most Americans do not have a positive view of ICE, with only 33 percent of respondents in that poll stating that they have a favorable view of the agency. <\/p>\n<p>Several news organizations reported on Tuesday that ICE, at the direction of Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Markwayne Mullin, would temporarily suspend the practice of traffic stops and that ICE agents will receive additional training on when and how to conduct such stops. <\/p>\n<p>The move came after ICE agents shot and killed two people during traffic stops in July \u2014 Maine resident Johan Sebasti\u00e1n Duran Guerrero, who was authorized to work in the U.S. and had a valid Social Security number, and Texas resident Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a Mexican national who has resided in the Houston area for over three decades. In both cases, ICE alleged that agents acted out of fear for public safety or because agents\u2019 safety was threatened \u2014 claims that were repeatedly disputed by witnesses to the killings.<\/p>\n<p>On the same day that it was reported that ICE would suspend traffic stops, an ICE vehicle pursuit in Florida resulted in yet another death when a man was accidentally struck and killed by a tractor trailer while attempting to flee from agents.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/smartmovinghome.com\/?p=969\">ICE Temporarily Pauses Traffic Stops After Fatal Shootings in Texas, Maine<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ICE agents have shot and killed two people this month while conducting traffic stops and vehicle pursuits.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":974,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-975","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-interesting"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
