NEW YORK, United States (CMC) — Immigration advocates in New York are welcoming as “overdue” the decision of the United States Government to order the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency to halt making vehicular stops after ICE agents killed two people at separate traffic stops in recent days.

On July 7, ICE agents killed Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in Houston, Texas and, on Monday, ICE killed Joan Sebastian Guerrero in Biddeford, Maine.

The New York Immigration Coalition (NYIC), an umbrella group of over 200 immigrant and refugee groups in New York State, said Guerrero was the 11th person that ICE agents have shot and killed during US President Donald J Trump’s second term, in addition to 52 people who have died in ICE detention.
