The ex-wives of the ICE agent involved in a fatal shooting of a Colombian immigrant have spoken out, claiming their concerns about his violent past were ignored by the agency during his hiring process. Both women described a history of aggression and threats, with one stating she explicitly warned people that her ex-husband was “going to hurt somebody.” They believe that if ICE had conducted a more thorough background check, including contacting them, the tragedy could have been prevented, especially given reports that the victim was legally in the U.S.

In response to two recent fatal shootings involving ICE vehicle stops, an email directive has been issued suspending all such stops until further notice. This extraordinary measure comes amidst an escalation of immigration arrests and a reliance on vehicle stops to apprehend individuals, particularly due to increased awareness of ICE’s inability to enter homes without warrants. The decision, made by Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin, reflects growing concerns about officer safety and public controversy, further amplified by the fact that both victims were not the intended targets of ICE operations.
