New ICE guidance bans high-speed car chases and sets tighter rules for traffic stops, a memo shows

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has issued new internal guidance prohibiting officers from engaging in high-speed car chases. The directive also establishes tighter rules for conducting traffic stops, requiring officers to complete specific training before initiating them.

The policy changes were implemented following a series of incidents in which drivers were shot during encounters with ICE personnel. The internal memo outlines stricter operational protocols aimed at governing vehicle pursuits and stops nationwide.
