after two deadly shootings in less than a week, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement will pause non-urgent vehicle stops, and maybe, comply with the federal govt sue of deadly force policy? The use of body cams?

ICE agents tried to pull over the car of 26-year-old Joan Durán Guerrero, a Colombian national, and the agent shot and killed him. The agents were not wearing body cameras, 

ICE agents in Houston attempted to pull Salgado Araujo over agents say he tried to use his van as a weapon,

The Department of Homeland Security's policy says deadly force cannot be used solely to prevent someone from fleeing … unless the person poses a significant threat of death or serious physical harm to the agent or others.

DHS accused Salgado Araujo of weaponizing his car against the ICE officer. In Maine, the agency said Durán Guerrero posed a public safety threat.

But in these cases, there hasn't been video evidence to back up those allegations.

None of the federal immigration agents were wearing body cameras, according to the Department of Homeland Security.

After the shooting of Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis in January, DHS vowed to quickly deploy body cameras to federal immigration agents nationwide.

But that hasn't happened.
