Trump: ICE should continue traffic stops after recent shootings, seeming to contradict new policy

President Donald Trump says Immigration and Customs Enforcement should continue traffic stops after recent fatal shootings, seeming to contradict a new policy to halt them.
Why this matters in The San Francisco
In San Francisco , a city with a long history of immigrant advocacy, the president's comments on ICE traffic stops are likely to resonate deeply. The city's long-standing sanctuary policies have often put it at odds with federal immigration authorities, and any perceived escalation of ICE activity is sure to spark concern among community leaders and residents. Given the city's long experience with tensions between local law enforcement and federal immigration agencies, it will be worth watching how San Francisco's police department and city officials respond to the president's remarks, particularly in light of their own policies governing cooperation with ICE. The city's long history of protecting immigrant rights will likely be invoked in any local response to the president's comments, which seem to contradict the new policy aimed at halting traffic stops.
