Todd Blanche Faces Senate Confirmation Hearing; ICE Should Resume Traffic Stops, Trump Says

The Senate Judiciary Committee holds a confirmation hearing on Wednesday to examine the nomination of Todd Blanche to serve as attorney general of the United States.

President Donald Trump said Wednesday that Immigration and Customs Enforcement should continue using traffic stops as a key enforcement tool, defending the practice after a string of deadly encounters involving immigration officers, including a recent fatal shooting in Maine of a Colombian illegal immigrant.
