Donald Trump responded to the uproar following ICE killing two men in vehicles in less than a week, writing that the agency is "doing a GREAT job." 
The president called for traffic stops to resume, despite the administration ordering the agency to pause them on Tuesday 
The Trump administration on Tuesday ordered ICE to pause most traffic stops. 
Tom Homan, Trump’s immigration czar, said the order was a “short pause just to make sure we’re doing the right thing.” 
Trump seems to believe they've sorted everything out less than 24 hours later — or, more likely, he simply doesn’t see anything wrong with how ICE has been conducting its deadly crackdown.
