On Wednesday, July 15th, 2026, President Trump posted on Truth Social to reverse a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) order issued the previous night. The original DHS directive had temporarily banned Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers from pursuing individuals fleeing in vehicles. Trump’s action restores the authority of ICE officers to engage in such pursuits.

NBC News correspondent Garrett Haake reported on the development, highlighting the swift policy change within the DHS enforcement framework.
