ICE bans car chases and lets only specially trained officers make traffic stops

ICE officers can no longer chase cars that won't pull over

A memo issued Wednesday (Sept. 30) bars ICE officers from chasing vehicles that don't stop. It also bars PIT maneuvers, where an officer bumps a fleeing car to spin it out.

The new limits:

Only government vehicles with lights and sirens may make stops (ABC News).
The limits apply to ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations officers (ABC News).
Only officers with specific agency training may make traffic stops.
