The article criticizes the Biden administration\u2019s approach, particularly Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin\u2019s order to cease non-urgent vehicle stops by law enforcement, which the author argues signals weakness and hampers effective deportation efforts. The piece emphasizes that any individual seen by ICE should be detained immediately, asserting that delaying or stopping such actions endangers public safety. The author references recent shootings during traffic stops-one in Maine were a man was fatally shot after attempting to flee, and another in Houston where a man was also killed-arguing these incidents demonstrate the dangers of resisting law enforcement. The article blames Democrats and some pro-amnesty Republicans for exacerbating immigration issues by encouraging unauthorized border crossings and obstructing immigration enforcement.It asserts that the desire of moast Americans to remove illegal aliens should be respected, criticizing efforts to hinder law enforcement, which the author views as holding the country hostage and promoting violence. The piece concludes with a call for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/bidens-border-crisis-15-states-have-smaller-populations-than-total-illegal-southern-border-crossings-in-2023\/\" title=\"In 2023, illegal southern border crossings surpass populations of 15 states\">stronger immigration enforcement measures<\/a>, framing current policies as a betrayal of American public opinion.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Two more people died in recent days encountering immigration authorities, which predictably means a renewed enthusiastic push by Democrats and the dying media to halt deportations altogether. The only acceptable message from the Trump administration is: Those who caused <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2026\/02\/05\/deporting-illegal-aliens-isnt-complicated-dont-let-democrats-complicate-it\/\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2026\/02\/05\/deporting-illegal-aliens-isnt-complicated-dont-let-democrats-complicate-it\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">this mess<\/a> don\u2019t get a say in how to clean it up.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not a good sign that Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin on Tuesday <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2026\/07\/14\/us\/ice-agents-traffic-stops.html\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2026\/07\/14\/us\/ice-agents-traffic-stops.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">reportedly<\/a> instructed law enforcement to \u201ccease all non-urgent vehicle stops\u201d in relation to immigration enforcement. Any action that carries the whiff of a suggestion that the problem isn\u2019t the nearly 20 million illegal aliens in this country \u2014\u00a0allowed in by Democrats \u2014 but rather the attempt to remove them is precisely the wrong signal. <\/p>\n<p>At this stage, there is no \u201cnon-urgent\u201d deportation, whether the subject is driving, walking, swimming, or floating in a hot air balloon. If he or she is in view of an ICE agent, there should be no pause in taking the individual into custody and processing his quick removal from the U.S. Anything else is weakness. Mullin is signaling weakness, and it reflects directly on President Trump.<\/p>\n<p>That another two people were just killed while the administration tries to enforce immigration law isn\u2019t a reason to stop. On <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2026\/07\/13\/us\/ice-shooting-maine-guerrero.html\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2026\/07\/13\/us\/ice-shooting-maine-guerrero.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Monday<\/a>, 26-year-old Colombian man Joan Sebastian Guerrero was shot in Biddeford, Maine, after he attempted to flee from a traffic stop executed by immigration authorities, according to ICE. The agency <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/DHSgov\/status\/2076798878595342620?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">said<\/a> that, \u201cfearing for public safety, an officer discharged his weapon\u201d and Guerrero died. Similarly, in Houston <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2026\/07\/13\/us\/houston-ice-shooting-video-witnesses.html\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2026\/07\/13\/us\/houston-ice-shooting-video-witnesses.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">last week<\/a>, Mexican national Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, 52, was also shot and killed during a traffic stop conducted by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/exclusive-candidate-ingrid-centurion-slams-nancy-mace-for-turning-her-back-on-trump\/\" title=\"Exclusive: Candidate Ingrid Centurion Slams Nancy Mace for Turning \u2018Her Back on Trump...\">immigration law enforcement<\/a>. ICE said in a statement that Araujo had \u201cweaponized his vehicle\u201d and that authorities shot him in an act of self-defense.<\/p>\n<p>There have yet to surface any publicly available videos that clearly depict what happened in either case. But if events unfolded as they have in previous high-profile run-ins with ICE, then what likely took place was an attempt by law enforcement to execute a traffic stop, only to be met by a subject who attempts to flee, perhaps by flooring it in his vehicle.<\/p>\n<p>It can\u2019t be said enough. Attempting to evade law enforcement or resist arrest is dangerous and can prove deadly. Contrary to what Democrats and people on CNN and MS NOW like to say, it\u2019s not a matter of just letting a criminal suspect escape so that no one gets hurt. If that were the case, authorities would only ever be able to detain those who comply. In any event, resisting arrest and attempting to flee is not a safety threat exclusive to the police and the suspects. It\u2019s a danger to any innocent person who might be in the vicinity, including children walking home from school or trying to cross the street.<\/p>\n<p>That any ICE agent is ever faced with the choice of either drawing his weapon to neutralize a potential threat or withdrawing in hopes that nobody gets hurt is the fault of Democrats (and even some pro-amnesty Republicans) who have instigated and exacerbated every immigration problem the administration was put in place to solve. Democrats, with no right, told every destitute foreigner south of Texas to make his way to the U.S. and stay indefinitely. Democrats have since <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2026\/03\/25\/democrats-continue-holding-american-air-travelers-hostage-to-save-illegal-aliens\/\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2026\/03\/25\/democrats-continue-holding-american-air-travelers-hostage-to-save-illegal-aliens\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">fought tooth and nail<\/a> to keep each and every one of them here, refusing to cooperate with federal immigration officials and stirring up chaos in major cities to make it as difficult as possible for agents to do their jobs.<\/p>\n<p>A majority of Americans said they wanted these people out of their country. If Democrats believed in elections, they would have respected that choice, but they don\u2019t. So things have naturally turned violent. They can\u2019t be allowed to hold this country hostage in that way. If violent deportations are what they\u2019re forcing, so be it.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<div>\n<p>      Eddie Scarry is the D.C. columnist at The Federalist and author of &#8220;<a href=\"\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0FR8XCMYC\">Traitors: The Democrat Party\u2019s Collapse into Anti-American Filth<\/a>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two more deaths prompt calls to halt deportations, Trump stands firm<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":493,"featured_media":2629955,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/ICE-2.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[63693,8675,3813],"class_list":["post-2629954","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-democratic-resistance","tag-deportations","tag-immigration"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/ICE-2.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2629954","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/493"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2629954"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2629954\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2629958,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2629954\/revisions\/2629958"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2629955"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2629954"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2629954"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2629954"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
