Last week, an ICE agent shot and killed 52-year-old Lorenzo Salgado Araujo during a traffic stop in Houston.
He was on his way to work and not the target of the ICE operation he encountered.
No photos or video of the traffic stop have been released.
On Monday, ICE agents shot and killed 25-year-old Johan Sebastian Duran Guerrero in Biddeford, Maine.
Immigration advocates say Guerrero, a Colombian national, was authorized to work in the U.S.
He was also not the target of ICE agents at the scene.
On Tuesday, this week near St.
Augustine, Florida, ICE agents approached a car with four men inside who then fled.
One was hit and killed by a truck.
The Department of Homeland Security says the 28-year-old victim was a Mexican national.
Anti-ICE protests erupted in Maine on Wednesday.
The Associated Press spoke to some of them.
And President Donald Trump posted the statement “We CANNOT give up one of ICE’s most important and effective Crime Fighting tools, THE TRAFFIC STOP!”
to his social media.
The shootings come as ICE arrests have surged.
ICE reported 10,000 arrests in five days alone at the end of June.
In December, the month with the highest number of arrests under the Trump administration the agency arrested around 1,200 people per day.
What do we know?
And what does it mean?
