Immigration and Customs Enforcement is planning to buy a device able to stop a car from moving.

A federal contract to purchase a “vehicle arresting devise (sic)” is dated Aug. 14, weeks after ICE agents shot and killed two drivers in Maine and Texas who failed to stop for the unmarked vehicles conducting immigration enforcement operations. In both cases, the driver was not ICE’s intended target.

After the shootings, the Department of Homeland Security put a temporary suspension on ICE vehicle pursuits but President Trump quickly reversed the pause.

Now ICE is set to spend $29,286 for a system from Stock Enterprises, LLC, a company based in Phoenix.
