Our ICE law enforcement are held to the highest professional standards and this officer is being relieved of current duties as we conduct a full investigation, McLaughlin said in a statement. That investigation proved to be short-lived, however, after news broke Monday evening that the agent in question had been reinstated, and was back on the job at 26 Federal Plaza where for months, ICE agents have seized immigrants attending court-mandated hearings.

'Court-watchers confirm this cruel ICE agent has been reinstated,' Lander wrote. 'Last week, in the briefest moment of decency, violently throwing a woman to the floor was 'beneath the men and women of ICE.' This week, it's back to business as usual. The cruelty, after all, is the point.' CBS News reported that two U.S. officials told the outlet that the agent had been reinstated.

Video posted by New York Daily News and taken by freelance photojournalist Stephanie Keith shows Dean Moses, a photojournalist for amNewYork, following ICE agents into an elevator in a Manhattan building. While other journalists look on, Moses is forcefully removed from the elevator after being told to get off. Get the f**k out of the elevator! an agent is heard saying as Moses is removed.

ICE is already stopping people at the airport, including people who have a legal right to live in the United States: Eric Lee wrote in a post on X that his client, 40-year-old Tae Heung "Will" Kim, was taken into custody at the airport last week when he returned from his brother's wedding in South Korea. According to the post, Kim spent more than seven days at an SFO detention center without daylight, sleeping in a chair and having no access to an attorney.

Donald Trump and Kristi Noem and Tom Homan said they were targeting the worst of the worst criminals. They lied and they continue to lie. Sixty percent of the individuals that ICE has taken in Illinois this year have no criminal convictions of any kind. ICE is running around the Loop harassing people for not being white. Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States. Now, ICE is making it commonplace. That's not making America great.

In an early Saturday morning post on Truth Social, President Trump wrote that he will be sending troops to "protect war ravaged Portland" as well as the city's ICE facility from those he called "Antifa and other domestic terrorists." More troubling still, the president also authorized his agents to use "full force, if necessary." This announcement came on the heels of Friday night's press conference held by Mayor Keith Wilson and several state leaders, saying that the Trump administration had deployed additional federal agents to Portland's ICE facility. The mayor labeled the administration's move as "just a big show," and along with others in attendance, encouraged Portlanders to "not take the bait," or physically engage with ICE officers.

Children, including the very young, have been spending weeks or months in an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) detention facility in a remote part of Texas where outside monitors have heard accounts of shortages of clean drinking water, chronic sleep deprivation and kids struggling for hygiene supplies and prompt medical attention, as revealed in a stark new court filing. Legal experts able to

We are witnessing domestic terrorist sedition against the federal government. The JTTF has been dispatched by the Attorney General, pursuant to NSPM-7. All necessary resources will be utilized.

A federal officer for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) has been relieved of his duties after a video showing him pushing a woman to the floor at an immigration court in New York City spread quickly on social media. Tricia McLaughlin, assistant secretary for public affairs at the Department of Homeland Security sent a statement to the Guardian, saying the officer's actions were unacceptable and beneath the men and women of Ice. This officer is being relieved of current duties as we conduct a full investigation, McLaughlin added.

He called the ICE employees, people showing up to collect a dirty paycheck. He wrote that he intended to maximize lethality against ICE personnel, and to maximize property damage at the facility. He hoped to minimize any collateral damage or injury to the detainees and any other innocent people. It seems that he did not intend to kill the detainees, or harm them. It's clear from these notes that he was targeting ICE agents and ICE personnel.

This week, Homeland Security posted a video to X of an arrest compilation. In between footage of ICE agents handcuffing people at their homes and in their cars are clips from the OG Pokemon TV series, with the famed "Gotta catch 'em all" theme playing in the background. When Ash Ketchum looks up at the sky, the text "The Department of Homeland Security" populates the screen in Pokemon's iconic yellow-and-blue font. As a Poke Ball closes, the camera zooms in on wrists in cuffs. And at the very end of the video, those arrested appear as Pokemon cards with their "crime" described under their picture.

For several months now, US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has been posting ghoulish social media videos celebrating the agency's ramped-up immigration raid efforts. For its latest propaganda, ICE is appealing to a younger audience by setting a video of arrests to the Pokémon anime theme song. Not only was the clip posted to the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) X/Twitter, but it was also uploaded to the official White House TikTok account.

No fewer than a dozen elected officials people chosen by the voters to seats in government to represent their interests came to 26 Federal Plaza on Thursday seeking answers about ICE's treatment of immigrant detainees being held there. They were not only denied entry to the 10th-floor holding area, where many detainees are supposedly being held despite ICE's continued denials, but the lawmakers also staged a protest over the federal agency's continued obfuscation about the fate of the immigrants in its custody.

Officials in Nassau county confirmed the death of a 42-year-old man to Newsday but declined to share details, saying that an investigation was under way. There is an ongoing investigation, which will be thorough and transparent to determine the cause of death, the Nassau county sheriff, Anthony LaRocco, told the outlet. Nassau county takes seriously its obligation to treat every prisoner humanely.

According to three employees at GSA, who requested anonymity to discuss sensitive internal operations and to avoid retribution, the agency has created an "ICE surge" team in recent weeks, referring to an effort to lease private offices to allow Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency officers to establish long-term work space in the cities where they are operating. Last week, the GSA's Public Buildings Service posted a solicitation for "as-is, fully-finished and furnished office space in support of administrative operations for law enforcement" in 19 cities across the country.

When Portland gave Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) the green light to open a processing and holding facility in the South Waterfront in 2011, the city set conditions for the agency to operate in the space. Among other requirements, the conditional use permit prohibited ICE from holding detainees at its Portland facility overnight, or for more than 12 hours. Now, Portland leaders say ICE has violated that tenet of its agreement with the city.

US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) warned Tuesday that assaulting its officers constitutes a federal crime punishable by felony charges. Anyone regardless of immigration status who assaults an ICE officer WILL face federal felony assault charges and prosecution to the fullest extent of the law, the agency posted on X. Embedded in the post was an image that read think before you resist with a clenched fist.

Ben Bergquam, the rightwing internet personality, was with agents, filming and making content as well as getting into altercations with local residents along the way, according to a video the Guardian viewed on X. In the video, he appears to be in the car with Ice agents and nearby as they arrest people; later on he yells at a group of Chicagoans who are gathered to prevent Ice operations that they are the enemy within.

The issue emerged at the height of Trump's attack on LA, when multiple citizens reported that ICE was rounding up anybody who was Latino, or looked Latino, for questioning. Racial profiling is unconstitutional (or was, until this morning) and people sued, including the named plaintiff in this case, Pedro Vasquez Perdomo. District Court Judge Maame E. Frimpong (a Biden appointee) issued an emergency injunction prohibiting the raids in July,
