Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) will continue conducting vehicle stops following recent fatal shootings involving agents, according to Tom Homan, a former ICE official. The stops were briefly paused but resumed after President Donald Trump reversed the directive roughly a day after it was issued, Axios reported.
Speaking on CNN's "State of the Union" on Sunday, July 26th, 2026, Homan told host Dana Bash that while a broader review of ICE operations is ongoing, vehicle stops will continue now that the agency has implemented oversight changes. He emphasized that training is continuously evaluated in law enforcement and said, "So I wouldn’t say — now that we’re evaluating some additional training — that mistakes were made. We will see where it lies."
Pressed on how a review could yield results during the roughly one-day pause, Homan said changes had already been made and did not require halting the stops while the review continues. He added, "We just haven’t stopped the vehicle stops because those changes have already been made."
Homan also stressed the importance of body cameras, stating, "We’ve got to make sure that on every vehicle stop … [there’s] at least one body camera on those vehicle stops … so whether the officer did something right or did something wrong, whether the alien did something right or wrong, it’s on video. And I’m a big supporter of video cameras … because I want the American people to see what that officer saw when he took whatever action they took."
