Trump Demands ICE Maintain Roadside Checkpoints After Two Deaths in a Week
On July 15, 2026, Donald Trump demanded that ICE maintain its roadside checkpoints, contradicting his administration's decision to suspend them the same day. This came after two men were shot by ICE agents within a week: Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was killed on July 7 in Houston, and another driver was shot on July 13 in Biddeford, Maine, where the FBI is investigating. Since Trump returned to office in January 2025, at least nine people have died during U.S. immigration operations, according to Al Jazeera. No immigration agents have been charged in any of these cases. Mexico has called for criminal investigations into the deaths of its citizens.
