President Donald Trump says traffic stops by U.S.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement should continue, calling them the country's "most important and effective" crime-fighting tool in a social media post early Wednesday.
The post to Truth Social comes on the heels of reports of a new policy to halt the stops.
"The men and women of ICE are doing a GREAT job, one that has to be done.
CRIME IS WAY DOWN IN AMERICA, in many cases with numbers that haven’t been seen in decades," Trump posted, adding that stopping the traffic stops is "playing right into the criminal's hands."

The policy change came after two deadly shootings involving ICE agents.
An ICE agent shot and killed Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero, a 25-year-old Colombian national, in Maine on Monday, less than a week after an agent shot and killed Lorenzo Salgado Araujoa, a Mexican national, on his way to work on July 7 in Houston.
The suspension of vehicle stops allows room for exceptions when executing a criminal warrant or working with partner agencies, the Associated Press reports.
