The order came after an ICE officer shot and killed a Colombian driver Monday in Maine and a week after one shot and killed a motorist in Houston, renewing criticism of the agency's tactics during enforcement operations.

Matthew Felling, a spokesman for Maine Sen. Angus King, said the senator's office was also told by the Department of Homeland Security that ICE was suspending vehicle stops. Hundreds of people in Maine protested Tuesday over an ICE officer's fatal shooting Monday of Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero, a 26-year-old Colombian national. DHS said Monday that the officer, "fearing for public safety," shot and killed Durán Guerrero while officers were watching the home of someone they believed was in the U.S.

China's Dongfeng Motor Corporation staged its first Canadian public appearance today, displaying electric vehicles at the Old Port of Montreal in a brand-awareness exercise that marks the latest — and most structurally unusual — entry into Canada's low-tariff import quota for Chinese-made EVs. Unlike BYD or Chery, which are private Chinese companies, Dongfeng is a central state-owned enterprise directly controlled by China's State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC) — the arm of the Chinese central government that owns and directs the company on behalf of the state. That distinction matters for every Canadian considering a purchase. Under China's National Intelligence Law (2017), all organizations under Chinese jurisdiction — including state-owned enterprises like Dongfeng — must support, assist, and cooperate with national intelligence work on demand. The law applies extraterritorially to Chinese entities operating abroad. Combined with China's Cybersecurity Law (2017) and Data Security Law (2021), which grant government agencies the authority to access networks and data held by Chinese companies, the legal framework means that the connected-car platform aboard any Dongfeng vehicle sold in Canada operates under an obligation no Canadian privacy law can override. Canada's federal private-sector privacy law, the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), which was enacted in 2000 and remains the country's primary consumer data protection framework, contains no explicit rules governing cross-border data flows. Dongfeng Displays Vigo and Nammi Box 01 in Montreal At the Old Port of Montreal today, Dongfeng's designated Canadian distributor, North World Industry, showcased two models: the Vigo — sold as the Nammi 06 in China — and the Nammi Box 01, a compact urban hatchback. Both vehicles feature 800-volt charging architectures, a technical specification that doubles the electrical system voltage compared to the 400V standard found in most EVs on the market today. In an 800V system,

Dongfeng Motor Corporation Ltd. is the latest Chinese automaker preparing to enter the Canadian market, and its planned entry likely represents a broader effort by Chinese automakers to establish a strong presence in North America, says one auto analyst. Intense domestic competition is pushing China’s automakers to pursue growth abroad, Dominic Chiu, a senior analyst at Eurasia Group, told BNN Bloomberg. “They’re running on very thin margins, and that’s a main reason why they are expanding to international markets. Not just exporting, but also investing in manufacturing directly in other countries to produce EVs,” says Chiu. “And Canada is a hotspot.” - China’s carmakers rush to Canada as a ‘practice run’ for U.S. sales - First Chinese EVs arrive in Canada, but they come with a high price tag Chiu describes Dongfeng as one of the big four auto companies in China. The company is headquartered in Wuhan and operates in more than 100 countries. It is reportedly currently working to certify vehicles for sale in Canada. Last week, Lotus, owned by the Chinese Geely Group, became the first Chinese-built EV available for sale in the country after it shipped its first Eletre EVs that ranges from $119,000 to $159,000. All this comes months after the federal government’s decision earlier this year, to lower tariffs on a limited number of Chinese electric vehicles to save Canada’s agricultural sector from Chinese trade retaliation. Canada becoming a ‘hotspot’ Canada has become particularly attractive following the trade arrangement reached by Prime Minister Mark Carney and Chinese President Xi Jinping, says Chiu. Under that arrangement, Canada will initially allow up to 49,000 Chinese EVs per year to enter the country at a reduced tariff rate of 6.1 per cent. The vehicles had previously faced an additional 100 per cent surtax imposed by the former

Manufacturers’ sales incentives, including cash rebates, lease deals and discounted financing, have become relatively common over the years to help dealers clear inventories of slow-selling and overstocked models. According to Kelley Blue Book, incentive spending now accounts for around 7% of the national average transaction price, with electric vehicles at a generous 14%. While checking automakers’ websites uncovered a healthy list of models offering $4,000-$10,000 in cash-back deals this month, one brand is going all out to move the metal with incentives at stratospheric levels. With the federal Department of Commerce set to begin blocking the import and sales of cars with connected-vehicle technology linked to China or Russia, Volvo electric-car subsidiary Polestar has decided to phase out its U.S. operations following the 2027 model year. It’s already begun what amounts to a full-scale fire sale, with cash rebates as big as $25,000 on the Polestar 4 and $23,000 on the Polestar 3. For those keeping score, the Polestar 4 starts at $56,000, with the rebate slashing the price to around $31,400. That’s essentially a whopping 45% off the MSRP, and that’s just for walking in the door. Also of note, Dodge is bringing back its Power Dollars program this month, in which gas-powered Charger models are being offered with a $10 cash allowance for every horsepower. That comes to $4,200 cash back on the 420-horsepower Dodge Charger R/T and R/T Plus Sixpack models and a $5,500 rebate on 550-horsepower Dodge Charger Scat Pack and Scat Pack Plus Sixpack trims. We’re featuring the complete list of 40 cars, trucks and SUVs offering the most valuable cash rebates below. Keep in mind that cash rebates come directly from the automaker and do not include the dealer’s discount. Be sure to negotiate the transaction price separately from any cash rebate that may

Premium electric vehicle maker Polestar reported a 4% year-on-year sales slide for the second quarter of 2026 just weeks after being banned from selling cars in the U.S. The Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security did not grant it authorization to sell vehicles from model year 2027 onwards, because of its connected vehicle technology linked to China. However, its Geely-owned sibling brand, Volvo Cars, earlier was granted permission to continue operating in the U.S. with no explanation yet given for the apparent discrepancy in decisions. Polestar reported global sales of 17,296 electric vehicles in Q2, compared to 18,026 units in the same period in 2025. Sales in the first half of this year reached a record-high of 30,423 vehicles, with just 1,861 of those sold in the U.S. The company’s statement said its retail sales volumes excluding the U.S. are presented separately following the decision by U.S. authorities in respect of the Connected Vehicle Rule. Polestar is expanding its retail sales network in Europe and Asia, now standing at 235 sites, a growth of 39% compared to last year, said its CEO Michael Lohscheller in the statement. “Delivering record sales in the first half of the year, despite regulatory and market headwinds, is a significant achievement,” said Lohscheller. “We continue to make progress across the business, delivering strong growth in several key markets, especially in the U.K., Germany, South Korea and the Iberia region,” he added.

Sen. Angus King, I-Maine, said Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin told him the officer opened fire after the man tried to use his vehicle as a weapon against officers who were pursuing him for deportation in Biddeford, a coastal city of about 23,000 people roughly 15 miles (24 kilometers) southwest of Portland.

It’s so funny the kinda stuff that stands out to the car community. At the LA Auto Show last year, it was not a supercar but the tiny, undriveable Fiat Topolino. The Goodwood Festival of Speed is full of hypercars and iconic race cars… But all eyes are on the MG GO! And it’s not just me. CarBuzz says the concept “looks like a better Mini than even Mini builds.” The internet agrees. The MG GO! is a concept car that doesn’t seem all that impossible to bring to life, because it isn’t. It previews the MG2, a production B-segment electric hatchback due in 2027 that will square up against the Renault 5 and the Mini Cooper Electric. It’s a hatchback without extra bells and whistles. Friendly, round appearance, curious eyes, a few angular features for a modern edge. Like we’ve been saying, America yearns for the small, cute cars! However, as you may have guessed, the United States is missing out. Again. Actually British-designed, for once Here’s a detail that makes the GO! more interesting than your average show car: it was designed entirely at MG’s Advanced Design studio in London, under design director Carl Gotham. This is MG’s fourth consecutive year bringing a concept to Goodwood. The retro references are a greatest-hits album. The silhouette and forward-sloping tailgate nod to the Pininfarina-designed MGB GT. The flared arches channel the Metro 6R4 Group B rally monster. The spoiler echoes the ZR hot hatch. Gotham says the team wanted something “compact and contemporary, but also warm, expressive and immediately likeable.” Mission accomplished, honestly. One catch: MG hasn’t shared a single technical spec. No battery, no motor, no range. So temper the excitement until the production MG2 shows its numbers. MG also brought a second concept, the Cyber, a big performance

LA GRANGE, Ky. (WDRB) — Neighbors in La Grange are being extra cautious this weekend after police reported more than a dozen vehicle thefts and break-ins across multiple neighborhoods. Police said at least 15 vehicles were targeted early Friday morning along East and West Washington Street, East Main Street and North Fourth Avenue. In many cases, officers said suspects checked door handles, rummaged through vehicles and stole items. "We don’t feel like this is a neighborhood that is commonly hit with crime very often," said Cathy Beardsley, who lives in the Washington Manor subdivision. Police said the thieves appeared to be looking for guns, cash and garage door openers. Two vehicles were stolen and later recovered, including one found in Louisville by Louisville Metro Police, authorities said. Resident Gary Murphy said the incidents were surprising for the area. "Really I was surprised," Murphy said. "(My son said), 'You sure it happened here?' He said, 'Yeah.'" Police said unlocked vehicles parked outside are often easy targets, though they believe at least a few of the vehicles had windows smashed. The department also released information about a "vehicle of interest" believed to be connected to the crimes and said the suspects, who are believed to be teens or young adults, had their faces covered. "We’re definitely going to be on the lookout and locking up a little bit more," Beardsley said. Murphy said he installed security cameras years ago "just in case." Police ask anyone with information to call the La Grange Police Department at (502) 222-0111. Copyright 2026 WDRB Media. All Rights Reserved.

Why ‘reverse tech transfer’ from China remains a non-starter in the US auto industry
Experts say political resistance blocks technology transfer that could help US carmakers compete with Chinese rivals
For decades, Western carmakers complained that China forced them to hand over technology in exchange for access to the world’s largest auto market.
Now the tables have turned.
As Chinese carmakers capture global market share with cheaper, high-quality electric vehicles, countries including Canada and members of the European Union are embracing a “reverse tech transfer” strategy – by seeking Chinese investment and technology to strengthen their own industries.
The United States, however, is taking the opposite approach.
Tariffs on Chinese EVs have expanded, Chinese-owned auto companies are being banned or put on notice, and lawmakers are weighing new legislation to block the new global leader in electric vehicles.
Analysts say despite abundant scope for reverse tech transfer that could improve American carmakers’ competitiveness, Chinese companies would likely remain locked out of the market due to deep-seated barriers: geopolitical tensions, espionage concerns, economic protectionism, bipartisan opposition in Congress and resistance in local communities.

Kia Sorento: The SUV That Defined Kia's Premium Global Journey – Now Set to Enter India This Festive Season - Team Autopunditz - 19 hours ago - 5 min read After more than two decades of global success, the Kia Sorento is finally poised to make its long-awaited India debut. Recent test mule sightings and Kia's social media page indicate that Kia is preparing to launch the Sorento Hybrid during the 2026 festive season (August–October), positioning it as its flagship three-row SUV below the Carnival while taking on rivals like the Skoda Kodiaq, Volkswagen Tayron, Toyota Fortuner and Jeep Meridian. Kia has also teased upcoming hybrid models for India, reinforcing its commitment to expanding its electrified portfolio. The Sorento is expected to become Kia India's first strong-hybrid SUV, marking an important milestone in the company's premium and electrification strategy. Introduction Few SUVs have transformed a brand's global image as dramatically as the Kia Sorento. When it debuted in 2002, Kia was primarily known as a budget-oriented automaker with a limited presence outside Korea. Fast forward to 2026, and the Sorento has become one of Kia's most successful global SUVs, helping the company establish itself as a premium, technology-driven automotive brand. Now in its fourth generation, the Sorento has sold well over 3.5 million units globally, consistently ranking among Kia's top-selling models. Today it is offered with petrol, diesel, hybrid and plug-in hybrid powertrains across more than 80 countries. For India, the Sorento represents far more than another premium SUV—it is a statement of Kia's long-term ambitions in one of the world's fastest-growing automotive markets. 1. History & Evolution of Kia Sorento First Generation (BL) | 2002–2009 The original Sorento was developed as a traditional body-on-frame SUV.

Compact, luxury motorhomes with smart space-enhancing features really have a market of their own. This domain is dominated by Germany-based Bürstner, which surprised us first with the Habiton camper van last year. The concept van home debuted a modular interior layout that residents could change according to their requirements during the day or night. Now, continuing from where it began, the builder of comfortable and practical motorhomes has launched the Signature SMT model. The interesting mobile home is based on a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter chassis and has a layout that can have an open, unobstructed view or a privacy shutter along the kitchen, closing the rear bedroom when you are sharing the motorhome with friends or even members of the family. Since the entire concept of the interior is based on space-maximization and modularity, Signature made from fiberglass for a durable and lightweight form factor, features a raised roofline at the front. Designer: Bürstner This modification allows a drop-down bed to sit comfortably at the increased height. Below, you have the dinette that is formed by swiveling cabin seats and a bench across the aisle. The space here is naturally lit with a full-width skylight above. The transformable front lounge makes way for a 76 x 51-inch drop-down double bed at night. And when the daylight strikes and you’re leaving the bed, the ceiling bed retracts – disappearing completely from sight – opening the lounge area for dining and communication. An option for a twin or queen bed (with springs and a comfort mattress) sleeping area is designated again toward the back of the cabin, with the modular kitchen and space-saving bathroom taking up the space in the middle. The bedroom features custom-designed back panels and a wardrobe for storing your clothing essentials. The Signature offers sleeping space for up to
