Media breathlessly reports on 'new' ICE traffic stop rules — then ICE tosses cold water on its narrative



Media reports on the death of prior traffic stop rules for immigration operations are greatly exaggerated, according to the feds.

Many in the media rushed to report on a memo outlining traffic stop rules in order to imply that the administration is reacting to criticism by weakening engagement standards.

'This memo makes no changes to how ICE conducts vehicle stops. ALL officers have always received vehicle stop training.'

The memo indicated that there were no circumstances where officers would be "authorized to engage in vehicle pursuits or [precision immobilization technique] maneuvers" against vehicles with drivers who refuse to pull over.

"ICE issues new instructions on vehicle stops after shootings, new guidance shows," said a CNN headline Thursday.

"New ICE guidance bans high-speed car chases and sets tighter rules for traffic stops, a memo obtained by the AP shows," was the headline at the Associated Press.

"ICE Forced to Rein In Two Controversial Tactics Within 24 Hours," blared out Newsweek.

When a spokesperson for Immigration and Customs Enforcement was asked to comment on the "new" rules, they said there was "nothing new" in the memo.

"Occasionally, ICE leadership issues guidance reminders to law enforcement officers," read the spokesperson's statement to ABC News. "This memo makes no changes to how ICE conducts vehicle stops. ALL officers have always received vehicle stop training."

The spokesperson added, "Vehicle stops and arrests of illegal aliens continue."

The latest controversial shooting involved a migrant named Wilber Rafael Garces Perez, who was DoorDashing in Austin, Texas.

Perez initially complied with immigration officers' demands on September 20 but then allegedly fled in his car and also allegedly clipped an officer with the side mirror on his car. After a car chase, an officer shot him in the back.

Trump administration revokes visas for HISTORIC number of noncitizens



The Trump administration has revoked visas for more than a quarter of a million people over violations that included birth tourism and endangering national security.

State Department spokesperson Tommy Pigott called the 250,000+ visa revocations a "historic milestone" in the administration's efforts to protect the American people, Fox News reported Wednesday.

'We will not stop until every foreign national who threatens the safety of our communities is held accountable.'

"Every visa decision is a national security decision. Through continuous vetting on a scale never seen before, we are identifying and removing those who commit crimes, support terrorism, defraud Americans, or abuse our immigration system," Pigott explained.

"A U.S. visa is a privilege, not a right — and if you violate the terms of that privilege, you will lose it," he added. "We will not stop until every foreign national who threatens the safety of our communities is held accountable."

The revocations targeted people who violated the terms of their visas and those who committed crimes, including defrauding Americans or calling for violence against America or Americans.

About 2,300 of those involved birth tourism.

About 27 visas were revoked on Monday for officials from Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru, as well as their families over accusations of corruption.

A report in August indicated that the administration was looking to revoke visas for 200,000 people who had applied for asylum, which would be the largest single mass revocation of visas in U.S. history.

Pigott said at the time they were investigating false claims of asylum.

"We are coordinating with DHS to identify and revoke the nonimmigrant visas of foreigners who have come to the United States claiming to be short-term visitors, but then file for asylum to stay here permanently," he said.

Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau said in August that Americans were "fed up" with "bogus" requests for asylum.

"Asylum isn’t supposed to be a loophole to circumvent immigration laws; rather, it’s supposed to provide a narrow safe harbor for persons persecuted because of their 'race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion,'" he wrote on social media.

'NEVER going to happen': DHS Sec. Mullin CRUSHES 'open borders' Democrat pushing 'radical' anti-ICE bill



The Trump administration has fired back a scathing response to a Democrat congresswoman who called for Immigration and Customs Enforcement to be abolished.

Democrat Rep. Delia Ramirez of Illinois said the bill she announced Wednesday would dismantle the Department of Homeland Security, abolish ICE, and reroute their funding to a new department pushing community-based justice policies.

'Our 270,000 DHS patriots are keeping Americans SAFE — unlike this open borders politician who refuses to prioritize Americans over illegal aliens.'

The DHS Sec. Markwayne Mullin replied in a statement to Blaze News.

"Radical leftists are calling to defund the police and abolish DHS. It’s NEVER going to happen," said the secretary. "Our 270,000 DHS patriots are keeping Americans SAFE — unlike this open borders politician who refuses to prioritize Americans over illegal aliens."

A spokesperson for the DHS also responded to Ramirez with a list of the worst illegal alien criminals ICE has deported from the U.S.

"Representative Ramirez should be thanking our law enforcement for removing these dangerous criminals from her district — NOT vilifying law enforcement," the spokesperson said.

Ramirez replied in a lengthy statement to Blaze News via email.

"Every day, Americans wake up with a new reason to dismantle DHS, reimagine safety, and build something that honors our shared humanity," the Democrat said.

"The people have the power to reshape the government: instead of the weapon DHS has proven to be, we need a department built on the best parts of who we are and can be, and the best examples of how we can take care of each other in hard times," she added.

"My Reimagining Safety Act PROTECTS [the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency], [the Transportation Security Administration], the Coast Guard, and Customs functions, expands [the Federal Emergency Management Agency], and delivers funding back to our communities," Ramirez continued. "Markwayne and DHS will keep spreading cheap lies and fearmongering in a desperate attempt to save face because dismantling DHS and building something new is part of how we hold them accountable, stop corruption, and end their lawlessness."

Ramirez had previously said the new criminal justice department would be "human- and community-centered" rather than be centered on "surveillance" and "terrorizing people."

She had also earned the scorn of many when she said she was a "proud Guatemalan" first and an American second.
